Which just proves the point that all girls are not the same, and do
not want the same things in their game (or in anything else for that
matter ;)

Of course the vast majority of current games does not provide much
in the way of what the vast majority of girls want in their games.
Trying to find out what is lacking, and what is appealing will not
allow us to create a game that all girls like, but at least gives us
a guess at what more girls will like.

Personally I think that poor marketing has a lot to do with the lack
of appeal as well.
