Kind of hard question... At the moment where I live I have in  my apartment a PC which is pretty old by now but planning on upgrading it when I get enough money to do so but we also own 3ds, wii, and a ps2.

I can get when I want nes, ps3, xbox 360 and xbox one. We kind of have a tradition in family to buy and change it around. So owning is a bit of a hard question since if you ask my dad he says its everyone's.  Tiger
For gaming I use mostly my PC even if its starting to get pretty old. :>     

// Forgot to mention, I do have a smartphone and a tablet but I actually dont enjoy playing on them that much..

Thanks for all the information.

Love that Gamatic 7600.  Smiley

Currently I'm under the impression that only a minority of gaming women would be able to play my game, which is first person 3D and uses sprawling environments etc... it'll never run on mobile devices and onboard graphics chips  Sad

Oh well, maybe there will be more women playing games on semi-modern PCs and consoles by the time I finish it :-s I kinda count on titles like Mirror's Edge 2, Tomb Raider etc. to get more women to buy modern hardware.

Because having to develop for low-powered hardware puts a serious dent in game developers' options. I want to seriously consider adult women as an audience, but I also want the game to look excellent and use large environments with pretty lighting, which requires modern engines and a certain hardware level.
