GDC08: Gamer genders, in graph form

We were amused by this graph from Sony's PSN presentation. According to their internal data, 92% of registered PSN gamers are male. Only 4% are female! It looks like hardcore gamers are still predominantly testosterone-driven. Should we be depressed, or disturbed, that there are as many female gamers as those whose genders are "unidentified"?

For real though, that chart is interesting..

Women gamers are out there and you have to wonder how many pretend to be male when entering their data just to avoid creeps, perverts or being incorrectly stereotyped as a being a "lesser" gamer then a male player.

Female gamer numbers are rising, groups like PMS Clan and others like it are making the news more and more which means nothing but great things for growing the gaming industry!
