Scandalous? I know in 2008 the ratio was 60/40 in favor of guys according to an ESA survey http://edugamesresearch.com/blog/200...age-age-is-35/
Would not read too much into these "studies", since women that accidentally once launched minesweeper and clicked until they died answer yes, a guy I used to work with who would play an actual game for half a day, but only two to three times a year, considered himself not a gamer and would have probably answered No.

A more interesting question would be if you've purchased a game worth more than $20 (initial retail price, not slashed) the last 24 months. Or pirated one. Pretty sure the numbers be very different, but no one wants to see (pay for) those studies
