The computer games girls play
Article Abstract:
Women between the ages of 18 and 34 are becoming an increasingly large segment of the population that uses video games for recreation. In 1992 almost 100% of all players were male and under 18. Sony Corp reported in 1999 that 50% of its PlayStation users are between 18 and 34 and 15% are women. Australia's video game industry is growing as much as the Internet business and young adults under 34 are becoming more economically important to the industry.

Every officially licensed product will have a DNA anti-counterfeit device woven into the label or sales tag. The Sydney games are specifically vulnerable to trademark piracy, because nearby countries such as Thailand and Indonesia are known to have counterfeiting factories.
