The new data also reveals that 45% of Xbox owners and 41% of PS5 owners are female, too

This really shouldn’t be news and it certainly shouldn’t be surprising to anyone, but yes, new data from Circana shows that—as we told you in 2017—women play video games. In fact, more than half of all Switch owners are women. And a very vocal bunch of idiots are reacting about as well as you’d expect to this “revelation.”

This just in, “gamers” react shitty to something.

But "gamers" is evidently the wrong word, it should be "men". The whole point is that there are a ton of female gamers, and then they equate gamers with men in the title 🤷

You are 100 percent correct on that.

Thanks for the correction.
