James Scalpello, wireless director of THQ, has claimed that girls don't play as many videogames as guys because they have different lifestyle requirements.

"When girls play console games, they have to have gone through a whole other list of things they could have done before sitting down with them," he told CasualGaming.biz.
"Guys get home, have dinner, and play a computer game. It's much higher up the list of priorities. To put it bluntly, girls have got better things to do."
We're not sure whether we should take that comment as a slap in the face for men everywhere, or that he's suggesting women can't afford the luxury of getting home and spending the entire evening playing Mario Kart.
Scalpello also claimed that "not in a million years would most girls connect to a mobile portal to download a game" and added: "I don't think there's ever been a successful game really pinpointed just for girls."
Clearly know one has told him about Nintendogs. Or the constant stream of 'Imagine' games Ubisoft keeps putting out.
UPDATE: 4.23PM We've just checked the source again and it seems that a few of the quotes have been changed since we wrote our piece. Just in case you thought we were making this up.
