Well with their lower average wages compared to men I can understand why they'd rather buy a cheap console instead of an expensive high-end gaming PC

900 people is more than enough for an a accurate statistical sampling if the sampling was done correctly.
What is wrong with people in here?
Yesdo you really need a written and detailed argument about why its ridiculous to think more females than males are going out to buy and play playstation/xbox?
They only poled like 900 people for one.
You can't say this:
When 948 people were surveyed.
I'm not an expert on statistics, but 900 sounds like it could be sufficient if it's selected well.
900 people across the population of America would give you a confidence level of 95% with a margin of error of around 3%...
This thread is fucking hilarious.
Kids need to learn statistics.
do you really need a written and detailed argument about why its ridiculous to think more females than males are going out to buy and play playstation/xbox?
Sigh
They don't seem to know how to really appeal to anyone outside of that group and that probably has a lot to do with the fact that they've honed and focused their efforts on what a narrow but predictable (and contracting) swathe of the male market responds to for so long. Regardless of what the data says and whether it's fully accurate or not, that tack won't hold up in the long run. The trends all point toward a gaming userbase that is not dominated by males.But seriously, the data is interesting and I wonder how publishers will explain catering for men in AAA games.
900 is enough to determine wat over 300mil ppl own, or don't own...
Nah
So a sample of just 1,600 people gives you a margin of error of 2.5 percent, which is pretty darn good for a poll.
900 is enough to determine wat over 300mil ppl own, or don't own...
Nah
Not buying that this is true for the entire US population. I'm pretty surprised that people here actually think it to be true. Are most here female? Wouldn't you think there'd be an even split of women vs men here posting if it were true?
Do you have any idea whatsoever about statistics? Do you even have a clue on what statistics experts can tell accurately about even large populations by polling even relatively small amounts of people?900 is enough to determine wat over 300mil ppl own, or don't own...
Nah
Yes, actually. You think your stereotypical, outdated, preconceived sexist notions are more scientific than actual research? Based on what?
It's fucking amazing that even when presented with empirical evidence, people refuse to believe evidence in front of them if it conflicts with what they think they know.
Actually it is
Report: More Women Own Videogame Consoles Than Men in US
FYI I own 4 game consoles, female

The substantial quantity gap between men and women in the videogaming from a decade ago has greatly reduced in modern times, and more women are starting to engage themselves in videogames.
In the US, it seems that as far as console ownerships are concerned, the amount of women owning a gaming platform has far surpassed men.
A survey conducted by Pew Research Center tries to evaluate the popularity of different technological gadgets and their ownerships in the USA. One section focuses on console ownership mainly Xbox and PlayStation.
According to the survey, 40% of the adults report having a console in their households. Whats interesting is that 42% of American women own a console, whereas ownership for men is slightly less common at 37%.
Households that earn less than $30,000 annually are less likely to own a game console, whereas more than half of the households earning $75,000 and above own at least one.
As far as portable gaming devices are concerned, things are much more balanced.
The survey reports that ownership of portable consoles like the PlayStation Vita or Nintendos 3DS have stagnated since 2009, with 14% of American men and women owning at least one such handheld gaming platforms.
The survey confirms the general consensus that videogame popularity has substantially grown among females in the West. The industrys marketing scope has also shifted noticeably towards the trend, with majority of current generation videogames now containing gender diversity.
Real men play on PC.
sexist? are you kidding me?
It's not a contest...
It's just research. Chill out. It's weird to see some of the reactions in here, as if it is a personal attack.
do you really need a written and detailed argument about why its ridiculous to think more females than males are going out to buy and play playstation/xbox? more females are playing video games these days yea, but this surveys claim is batshit insane
sexist? are you kidding me?
Is this 4chan?
No I have a pretty good idea where you're coming from because you use "females" and "males" instead of women and men.
Regardless, here's the evidence. Go on then. What's your counterargument for this empirical evidence?
Yes. If you'd rather just don't believe research than even fathom the idea that women could be interested in video games/digital entertainment just as much as men could simply because, hey, they are girls, that's a perfect example of sexism. It doesn't mean you are a women-hating asshole. It simply means you are stereotyping women based on their gender. Which is what sexism means.
No I have a pretty good idea where you're coming from because you use "females" and "males" instead of women and men.
No, you imbecile, are you kidding me with thissexist? are you kidding me?
awful and inaccurate survey. no way in hell is this representative of the general population
Trotting out this bullshit with nothing - nothing - to back up your statement? Something in this emperical evidence got you shook and you're now getting called out on it. You obviously don't know shit about shit when it comes to statistics.do you really need a written and detailed argument about why its ridiculous to think more females than males are going out to buy and play playstation/xbox? more females are playing video games these days yea, but this surveys claim is batshit insane
I can believe it, the amount of women that stream and ask for donations especially on PlayStation Live the Ustream channel are filled with women hosting radio shows, painting, putting on make up all kinds of shit. On twitch streaming asking for donations to purchase their next game ect... It's .a money maker for them and if they look good you do the math.
