Has anyone else noticed the increase, since I certainly have.

Is it a social shift, or a marketing shift (i.e. games are designed to appeal to women much more now)?
I think the multiplayer social aspects of games now have broadened the appeal of games, not only to women, but to a wider range of personalities and backgrounds.
But I did see quite a few girls in line to buy WoW back on Nov. 23rd...
