Over 50% of US PSP owners are girls!? photo

We all know that most PSP owners are completely dickless, but for the first time ever, it's true in a literal sense. A new study from Nielsen indicates that half of the PSP's audience is made up of females. It looks like that lilac Hannah Montana SKU was actually good for something. 

According to the study group's fact sheet, 52% of PSP users are of the vaginal variety. Unsurprisingly, the Wii also has high female exposure, with 49% of its audience possessing a pair of chest-bollocks. Apparently, 45% of all active gamers are women now, marking quite the milestone. 

In other statistics, the Xbox 360 is apparently the most played console on the market, followed by the PS3, and then the Wii. Not really a surprise there. In any case, if you want to meet more women, buy a PSP. It will definitely make the girls want to do sex on you.

Seriously? Would have never fucking guessed it.

Also sorry Jim but everyone knows with a PSP you get stuck in the friends zone. For sexing you need a DS. Remember: Touching is good.

That is how all girls play games. Every single one of them, and I refuse to believe otherwise.

I've never seen a girl with a psp just a DS and even then they just kiddies but I do hate people and try to avoid the outside world as much as I can so maybe thats why I haven't seen any hehe

So? What's the big deal? Separating gamers into male and female groups is pointless.

@Dragonarya:

As much as senseless dividing of demographics tends to annoy me, and any discrimination as a result of such is even more offensive, there is nothing pointless about these statistics.

What triggers and appeals to the male demographic is generally very different from the female demographic. This is not a matter of separation, but instead knowing who you're selling your product to.

Seeing as you're not selling PSPs or PSP games, I can imagine why you don't think of this information as very pertinent, but don't write it off as "pointless".

I own a PSP... and I of course ensure that I always wear my Victoria's Secret Underwear when using it.. most recently I took it to the Movies because I knew there would be a long line up for Avatar and at least 30 minutes sitting waiting for the show to start... but yes, the obligation was there to live up to the image, so I wore my undies... just my undies.
... it was a little cold.

I almost commented on this, but then I remembered that Jim has a PSP. You are a crafty one, sir.

We call them chesticles here in the states. Also, I'm totally fine with this because I win every match in Soul Calibur since we all know girls suck at games.


No sarcasm. Girls suck at games. Especially when it's on the PSP.

What a self-referential article. If you didn't have a dick all your life and everybody is telling you that's perfectly normal, you would assume that other people also have none.

It's true, nothing works better with the ladies than if I bust out my God Of War PSP and say, "Hey, check out this collection of digital comic books. And what do you think about that Slipknot background?"
Yeah, all the chicks in ages that would put me in jail as a paedaphile dig me.

I'd like to point out it's actually the PS2 that's second place in terms of usage according to the article:

"Additionally the company ranked the top game consoles by share of total usage minutes:

Xbox 360 – 23.1%
PS2 – 20.4%
Wii – 19.0%"

If we wanna atract more girls to gaming, we should stop doing sexist comments and reviews like this with that pic, words like vaginal, dickless, sex and stuff. If most psp owners are girls, thats cool, i know few girls who are abid gamers and if psp and wii help in increasing their numbers, lets support them (both girls and consoles) in letting gamer girls play and new females interested in videogames into our world.

so where's mah pink PSP already? D: was so disappointed that the only girly PSP is the fugly Hannah Montana one. I want a fabulous pink sparkly one to match my DS.

and lol @Esteban RM if guy gamers can't treat each other with respect I dunno how you expect them to treat women with any. That being said, I think gaming sites should be a little more equal with their objectification of people. I know I'd sure as hell browse Destructoid more often if there were more pics of nearly naked hot dudes.

^ I think it was either Brad or Johnathan Holmes but they had been putting pics of dudes along side pics of chicks in several of their posts.

I wonder approximately how many of those chicks' PSP's are cracked :o
