Data Shows Most Switch Owners Are Women, Gamers React Poorly (kotaku.com)

The new data also reveals that 45% of Xbox owners and 41% of PS5 owners are female, too

This really shouldn’t be news and it certainly shouldn’t be surprising to anyone, but yes, new data from Circana shows that—as we told you in 2017—women play video games. In fact, more than half of all Switch owners are women. And a very vocal bunch of idiots are reacting about as well as you’d expect to this “revelation.”

Most Switch Owners Are Women, Gamers React Poorly

Interesting title. As if "Women" and "Gamers" were two distinct groups.
