Thanks to giblfiz for sorting it out, I was about to do the same. And to those saying: 'it's CNN, so it must be true' - ha! Such nonsense.
It's cnn that posts the misleading headline: 'female gamers outnumber boys' but as said, NOT when you compare age-group to age-group.
I can also say, without lying: '8 year olds work more hours a week than older adult' if I compare 8 year olds in some 3rd world country to adults over 65 or 70 in a rich western country.
CNN, just like any news agency, is great at manipulating and distorting facts. Anyone who ever saw their Iraq-coverage should know that.
