Why Do Girls Avoid The 360 Like The Plague?

In my observation girls seem to be more attracted to gaming systems in this order: wii, ps3, 360. Why is this the case? Because most shooters and brutally violent games are on the 360. When it comes to games the whole family can enjoy, 360 just lacks those titles. I think microsoft needs to broaden their audience if they want to be at the top of the gaming industry. That's actually my biggest critique of the 360. I don't own many games for it because I'm not into shooters much. The console just needs to be more mainstream. The perception of the average 360 owner is a teenaged-pimply faced halo nerd. I mean, am I wrong?

Microsoft needs to do a better job of attracting the female audience. Nintendo has already figured this out and that's why the wii will win this generation:)

From my experience the female either will like games or not. It's pretty black and white. Pretty much all of them will try the Wii. But after that when they see a controller they think it looks very complicated and they don't like holding them.

They're in competition with it. Who gets the boyfriends time, the girl or the video game?

That's very true.

Great observation. But, why should I care? Am I suppose to be looking for dates on X Box Live?

I hear a lot of chicks online playing 360. They want me to teach them how to pull off the mauler/melee combo. ;)JiveT

Ya, what's he talking about? I pwned this chick in a match the other day. It was kind of awkward hearing her avatar scream when I blasted her with a brute shot. :)

My theory: Girls like the Wii because most may not be a very avid gamer so they like somthing that is fun and easy to play. They like the PS3 second because it shows that the guy has $$$.

^^^
Not a serious theory.

They don't... Girls see video games as video games and nothing more. They don't think there's any difference between them. Also, I don't think females like video games all that much to begin with. But I haven't noticed what you are saying.

I like Wii better, though.

What are you talking about?

Is your observation up a tree with binoculars?

Those are actually pre-adolescent teen boys whose voices haven't changed yet. I really hope you haven't been trying to hit on them :o
