Nintendo: 80 percent of female console gamers prefer Wii

4.7
Nintendo's resident name jotter-downer and kiester-kicker recently divulged to BMO Capital Markets attendees that the Wii is outperforming its rivals when it comes to female gamers. According to its estimates (via Kotaku), 80 percent of the female console gaming crowd prefers Wii over the alternatives. With an estimated 11.7 million female console gamers in the Americas -- it's important to note this data of Nintendo's doesn't take into account DS owners or PC users -- the figure comes out to roughly nine million ladies waggling their way into the fun zone.

Yer girl gamewrs don't like xbl, but to be fair part of xbl is trash talk and if they can't handle it then they should just mute everyone and block comms from anyone sending them messages. I think it would be great to see an all girl clan, then we could shoot the sh*t outta them lol

Haha my mum used to have an obsession with Nintendogs at one point then it swapped to Wii fit and Mario Kart.

I see why girls avoid games consoles like the xbox, because it's just full of pervs that make sexist jokes. I have no problem with girl gamers at all, I would actually promote it.
