A spokesperson from JustGamblers commented on the findings:
“With more than 650 million copies sold, Super Mario is the best-selling video game character in the world, so it is not a surprise that Princess Peach is the most popular female character.”
“Back when gaming was first introduced, it was fairly steered towards men who were more often spending their quarters in arcades.”
“However, it seems things have changed over the years, as female characters started appearing in many titles.”
“The American Gaming Association recently revealed the gaming industry is more diverse than national and hospitality industry benchmarks, boasting a diverse executive pipeline, whilst identifying opportunities on gender representation.”
“46% of gamers in the United States are female, which is a powerful reminder that female gamers are a significant and growing part of the gaming community.”
“There is an importance to recognize and celebrate the contributions of female gamers, as they help to create an inclusive environment for the industry.”
