Horizon Forbidden West: Audience and Industry Audience Look at this YouGov blog on the console gaming audience and answer the following questions: 1) What statistics can you find for the number of male / female players for the major consoles?  Male players dominate PlayStation and Xbox audiences, but Nintendo consoles attract a more balanced gender split.
