I work in the videogame industry. There are more girls in the office than youd expect (not quite the same as the CNN statistics but a handfull nonetheless). Most of which are quite cute and yes, they play games recreationally as well.
My gf plays some games. I got her into the Oddworld (Munch/Abe) series. She finished Munch's Oddysee before I did. Heh. I wouldnt call her a gamer, though.
It seems that videogames are becoming more acceptable in socieity. Games of all sorts are being developed, in turn people of all sorts are playing them.
The thing is that there IS a large number of female gamers out there. If you take into consideration that even a small percentage of the gaming community is female... Think of how much that is in an industry that is larger than the motion-picture industry.
