I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it'll be females...usually the mothers spending money on the games for their male offspring Cheesy

Though I confess I've spend thousands of dollars when I was big on Second Life. Thankfully Open Sim solved that problem.


K, not the same thing but the money's the same.

Most of the women play flash games on facebook , most male gamers buy RPG , shooters and simulators and spend 100 times more to get a real gaming computer with all the accessories.

How about making a poll on how much women and male spend on games?

<< Cast aside the old stereotype – women are now the majority among games users. But as characters and creators they are still largely absent. >>

I assume this stat is heavily influenced by facebook games and phone apps.  The hardcore gamers will always be male dominated because women value balancing their life far more vs males.
