[quote name='utopianmachine']As a female gamer, I can say that the DS has been a far more approachable system for women and new gamers than past systems, simply due to the easy stylus gameplay of some games. By showing simpler titles such as Nintendogs and Zoo Keeper early on, I was able to get my female friend and also my stepmother into gaming more, and each person went on to get a DS of their own.
Still, a think a person drawn to such devices, regardless of sex, will have some interest in games already. Play Facebook games or online flash games? Then some DS games will appeal naturally due to the already familiar point-and-click gameplay.[/QUOTE]
That maybe why the DS has enjoyed greater success than the PSP, as I have seen other ladies playing the DS, and yet I have not yet seen one with a PSP. The ladies were playing Nintendogs, New Super Mario Brothers, and Pokemon (of course!).
