This may not come as a surprise to many. Joystiq reports today from Nintendo’s E3 2007 Keynote address:

  • Nintendo leads the pack with the highest ratio of female to male gamers: 33 in 67, where other organizations can only claim 20 in 80.
  • More than 1 in 10 women play games regularly (33% are 25-49).

E3 officially starts today and runs until the 13th. With a new format this year, the convention takes place in smaller locales, such as hotel convention centres. Additionally, the guest list is shortened: only invited media representatives and exhibitors and their staff are admitted.
