Women DO Play Games

Gamegirladvance blogs about the "Where the Girls Are" article in the Wall Street Journal (all about marketing of course).

26% of electronic game-players are women over 18
21% are boys 6-17
12% are girls 6-17
38% are men over 18

Jane ends with this:
"I wonder if all this mainstream feminizing of gamespaces will alienate the original women who colonized them. Current female gamers may be disgusted by the fact that they can now get astrology and love advice in their gaming. Will we see an increasing divide between the female old guard "OG" - original gamer - and the fluffy newbie lured in by Cosmo quizzes and virtual fashion design aspirations?"

Check out some of the 'interesting' comments. hmm.
