If choosy moms choose Jif, than choosy female gamers apparently choose the Wii. Nintendo recently did some info checking and it turns out that the Wii is outperforming its rivals when it comes to female gamers. According to its estimates, 80 percent of the female console gaming crowd prefers Wii over the alternatives.
There are an estimated 11.7 million female console gamers in the Americas, but keep in mind that this data doesn’t take into account DS owners or PC users. However this figure adds up to roughly nine million ladies. In related news, men are now encouraged to approach women only in 480p mode, displaying cartoony graphics, with no good titles to your name. This apparently woos the ladies.

What woos the ladies is the family friendly console with primarily E and T rated games that moms can feel their kids are safe with. Moms love Wii Mario games because of the characters they know and love without worrying about language, and inappropriate situations for 10 year olds.
They also love the fitness games and the ability to do a workout at home, and feel like they are on the “cutting edge”. So, granted the Wii Fit games don’t give you the same workout you’d get with a trainer in the gym, but that’s not generally available to moms, so Wii Fit and all the balance board games make a close second choice.
The wii remembers me the graphics quality of the Matell Intellivision console (early 80’s)… What a pity !
Hence the Cooking Mama on Wii. Sounds legit
