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.”
I am saying he is reporting the data his company gives him correctly not that there aren’t problems with the methodology. But even if there are issues with the methods here, Nintendo and Sony are reporting similar data as have previously done polls on the matter. And let’s be completely honest here. They’re most likely questioning the data because it doesn’t agree with their anecdotal experiences talking to women. And this is likely because women are playing much different games than they are.
