Mobile gaming a woman's world

July 18, 2006

Boston Globe Women make up 59 per cent of all consumers who play games on cellphones, according to Parks Associates, a research firm. And they drive more than 60 per cent of the revenue in almost every genre of mobile games, according to research firm Telephia Inc. The exception is in action and adventure, where men are the chief players.

From the article "Mobile gaming a woman's world," by Kim-Mai Cutler.
