Top selling computer game targets women

As cosmetic manufacturers are starting to wake up to the fact that they have traditionally been ignoring half of their potential market, so games manufacturers are also seeing the light.

The Sims, the chart topping series of games, appeals more directly to women by concentrating on relationships rather than the spatial abilities that shoot 'em ups require.
