I don't have any universal gaming demographics to hand, but traditionally the number of female gamers has been very low. Also, coincidentally (or not), the number of female researchers in computing and engineering-related sciences is not too dissimilar. If I wasn't supposed to be marking, I might distract myself a bit and see if I could locate some hard numbers to go with those two areas. I understand that you're not currently writing a TMA, though, so perhaps you can find something? (-: Hmmm… That's an interesting comment.

Isn't that reflective of the number of women involved in gaming universally?
