Read the Virtual Census (http://nms.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/11/5/815), don't ask an audience of game consumers. What do we know?

There's an interesting line in the abstract: "Overall, the results are similar to those found in television research."

Seems a bit odd to me, since there doesn't seem to be any great disparity between the number of women, minorities, and the elderly, who watch TV compared to men. Or am I misunderstanding the quotation?
