Apparently Nielsen has done a study that suggests that 64% of online gamers are women (via Slashdot). The study does not distinguish between games like Halo 2 or World of Warcraft and online card games like the kind you find at casual gamer sites like pogo.com. This is not really all that suprising when you take that kind of gaming into account. What’s more surprising is that they claim 117 million americans are online gamers. Considering the population of the USA is just over 300 million, I find it somewhat incredible that over a third of the population play online games. Even if you count online card games.
