Data Shows Most Switch Owners Are Women, Gamers React Poorly (kotaku.com)

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.”

Of course gamer bros are salty about this!

I'm just waiting for the YouTube react series. Gamers go apoplectic over statistics.

I've been trying to find the original study from Circana but all I can find are mentions of it, does anyone have the link to it?

[–] HauntedOwlbear@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Looks like these are choice stats from Cricana's forthcoming Market Dynamics In Gaming 2023 report which, annoyingly, doesn't yet appear to have actually been published yet. I suppose it'll be announced at https://www.circana.com/press-releases/ when it actually comes out.
