It really depends on how you define the term "gamer". To many people, a "gamer" isn't just someone who happens to play games at some arbitrary point in their free time, it's someone whose primary hobby is playing games.

I think this is an excellent point, actually. I daresay most girls/women have picked up an XboX or PS2 controller at some point in their lives, but that doesn't make them gamers. Still, there are a few who game as a hobby, and in future it may be that there will be a fairly even split between men and women when it comes to gaming.

Either way, I think we need to lose the whole 'nerdy schoolboy gamer' stereotype.
