Yes, you are correct. The people in charge always know best. How about that SOPA and whatnot? :p
I'm not saying they should stop making Call of Duty and Game for Bros 5. I'm saying that instead of making a Pony Adventure For Girls or "oh god how did this game get funded", they'd make a game that's actually for women or at least made without forgetting 'em and is an actually serious game. Something like that happens every now and then, but as it is now, the statistics are self-perpetuating.
"If it was really that profitable, some big player would already claim that slice of a pie" sounds like something you could say about anything that hasn't happened yet. Don't people constantly ignore good deals because they have preconceptions (I have this notion that they do, but no proof)? Do you really think that taking women into consideration would lower the sales from gazillion to gorillion? How many sales would fantasy games lose if the women wore real armor in 'em, for starters? I can't bring myself to think it'd be a lot, but maybe I'm an optimist.
Oh...
