U.S. Women Play Video Games As Much As The Men Do

US Women As Likely As Men to Play Video Games: Study

AFP | December 12, 2015

The Washington-based social research institute reported that 60 percent of those surveyed believed video game players were more likely to be men.
But Pew said "data showed that a nearly identical share of men and women report ever playing video games," at exactly half of men and 48 percent of women.
