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. While specific numbers vary, Nintendo audiences are often closer to a 50/50 split, while Xbox and PlayStation skew male at around 60-70%. 2) What is the difference between 'hardcore' and 'casual' gamers - and which do you think would play Horizon Forbidden West?
