The new data also reveals that 45% of Xbox owners and 41% of PS5 owners are female, too

This really shouldn’t be news and it certainly shouldn’t be surprising to anyone, but yes, new data from Circana shows that—as we told you in 2017—women play video games. In fact, more than half of all Switch owners are women. And a very vocal bunch of idiots are reacting about as well as you’d expect to this “revelation.”

    Bold of you to assume that a certain type of ‘gamer’ sees stories being more diverse as a positive 😩

      I have always found it bizarre that some people find the option of a story they don’t like threatening. I mean, go to a library, there are whole sections about gardening, I have black thumbs, nothing could interest me less, but it being there doesn’t hurt me, and if I changed my mind there it is. Everyone wins in my opinion.
