It a given a large number of Wii players are female gamers. I would have though the DS would have a bigger percent of felmale gamers when compaired to the PSP. I guess there was a good reason why Sony came out with the Hanna Montann PSP.

Is that so? I have never seen a female who owned a PSP, but I have seen quite a few women playing on the NDS. But then again, I am not exactly a hot topic amongst the ladies, so what do I know? :P

i think this confirms that females are the real pirates. all along they put the males in the media, when really a secret underground movement of females where setting up torrent sites. these statistics do tend to be surprising like the first time i read the average age was well over what i thought it would, we mainly think of gamers as teenagers(generally) but the average is like 38 or something crazy.

Only females I know who've used/own a PSP are my gf (she own's one) and my sister used to borrow mine for media stuff long time ago, but now it's back with me (she got the iTouch) so... Yeah I can't say I don't believe it, but ... ahh hell I find it a bit hard to believe. However, considering PSP numbers are less than DS's maybe the percentage use just means Hannah Montana sold a majority to PSPs :P Ok sorry, but I think since DS has more users, I would have thought DS would have either higher, or very close to. (Still don't know though how many Women DS users there are, but I know a few females with them...)

You folks who claim to not have seen any girls with a PSP really ought to get out of the house more. When I'm commuting on the bus I see girls playing with handhelds all the time, more so than guys actually.

I live in NYC and take the subway every morning/night for an hour and i've seen only 2 girls with PSP's, where as guys i've seen atleast 15 or so. Girls here either have a sidekick or blackberry out instead. So this statistic (if true) is surprising to say the least.

The data is most likely inaccurate. But handhelds are more popular for the ladies than consoles, and I see them with Iphones/Itouch, DS, or PSP pretty much all the time.

I don't think that any one person has meant 50% of the people who play the PSP. To judge if these numbers are correct or not. I myself would like to know how they came up with these numbers. But I am not going to just dismiss them out of hand because I don't know any female PSP gamers. I do know there is a Hanna Montana PSP Sony sells so Sony must suspect they do have a large number of female gamers.
