"Young men are traditionally perceived as a difficult bunch to reach
through TV, and although they don't spend as much time with their tele
as women of the same age, it undoubtedly plays a significant role in
their lives." I disagree with this because being in that bracket i know that males of this age range like to spend more time watching tv or playing games.

You can play online with your mates and play against people from around the world. the game lets you rank up and there is a leader bored for each game mode. Males like competition with there friends. the game also had a mode called 'zombies' this will definitely attract to males because of the films they would of seen. in the footage i will show you has guns, explosions, drones, points per kill.
This is the zombie mode this will appeal to the males as well. This is because males are stereotyped in liking zombies and killing and blowing things up. Males think it manly.

Typical gamers
It comes as a surpise when this reasearch is saying women are the typical gamers with 45%. Also it says boys 17 and under are cast as the stereo typical gamer. With actual actual fact this isnt true because they are only 19%. I can understand why people might think this because most games have a age rating of 3,5,12 and 18. Also most games out today are aimed at males such as Call Of Duty and GTA.
