Uhm...  I find almost all types of advertisment to have a rather
strong gender bias, no matter what the product is.  Coke, McDonalds,
you name it. Sometimes they throw in male-biased components (tits,
attractive women, power, technology) as well as female-biased
components in the same advertisment, but...  Game packages are heavily
male-oriented.
