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?
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.
Two Words: Animal Crossing
Not just that but the Switch has a lot of lovely indie games that are popular among women (Gris, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Spiritfarer, Cult of the Lamb). Also Hades, but everyone likes Hades.
Woman like Pokemon as much as dudes. Also Nintendo's awful online experience is a plus for woman that don't want to be exposed to weird online dudes.
If candy crush counts, my mom is more of a gamer than me
I would not trust Kotaku.
