does this mean it's manly to own a ps3 and not so much manly owning a wii? :P (j/k).

actually I dunno what that study supposed to prove, so I posted it here to see if anyone could analyze what that supposed to tell us.

I thought the average age for Xbox was 23, that would be manly.

Well, I can answer this. Due to the intentional console name innuendo, women cannot get enough of the Wii.

The Wii has kiddy games for children, mothers love them. Playstation has a negative stigma with lots of mature games, as does the Xbox 360, thus they each fare better on the men's lists. As to why the Playstation 3 upped the 360 on the men's list we will never, ever know. I'd like to ask each respondent why in hell he doesn't own a PS3 if he wants one so bad.

It does make sense.

Everytime a girl comes to my house they say I WANNA PLAY WITH TEH Wii.

Even my mom has been talking to her friends about it.

I wish I had a PS3, but it's not worth it for now.

So does this mean I was actually onto something when I told that one Wii fanboy to "stop whining like a little girl"? No seriously, I fail to see how this does anything but justify certain criticisms the Wii has been receiving. Fragdolls aside you don't find a lot of women talking trash in GRAW.

The PS3's negative stigma comes from its price and uber-exclusive marketing, not from its games. Thus, men want to own one the way men want to own imported luxury sports cars. That doesn't make it the better console, though.

I know several newlywed couples that own a Wii, but not a PS3 or 360.

The average age is 35 or something, but the median is around the early-to-mid-twenties.

Yeah, I thought about it too. I didn't think this thread needed any really poor puns though, so I decided against it.

Unless you represent all girls in your age group, this report seems more reliable than one person posting on a forum.

*Took Wii joke out because I didn't see prior posts*

As a male myself, I'll want a PS3 when it has more games and a lower price.
