ゲームも女性の時代 各社、取り込みに知恵絞る

ゲームソフト各社が、女性の利用者を増やそうと、開発や販売に力を注いでいる。化粧品会社と共同でメーキャップの仕方をアドバイスするソフトを出したり、女性に人気の宝塚歌劇団にゲームの舞台化を提案したりする例も。新たな顧客層の開拓に向け、女性の関心をいかにひくかが、課題になっているようだ。
-中略-
カプコンは、法廷闘争を描いたゲーム「逆転裁判」（ＤＳ用など）の舞台化を宝塚歌劇団に提案。２１年２月からの上演が決まった。パート４まであり、国内外で３００万本以上を売る人気シリーズ。女性を意識した内容ではないが、担当者は「ファンを広げるには女性がかぎ。ファッション誌で取り上げてもらうなどの努力を心がけている」という。
*２１年２月 = Heisei 21 nen 2 gatsu = February, 2009
"Heisei" is the name of a Japanese era http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_era_name
Game software concentrates power on development and sale to increase the users of the woman. There is a company giving game software to advise a way of the makeup in cooperation with cosmetics company. There is the company which suggests the scene of the game to Takarazuka all-women's opera where is popular among women. How woman's concern for the development of new range of customers is pulled seems to become a problem.
-omission-
Capcom proposed making of the game "Gyakuten Saiban" (for Nintendo DS) that drew the litigating struggle staged to Takarazuka all-women's opera. The stage was decided to undergo presentation from February, 2009. There is this game to Part 4, and it is the popular series to sell more than 3,000,000 at home and abroad. However, this game is not for women. The person in charge says. "Women grasp a key to increase fans. I keep an effort to have you take it up with a fashion magazine in mind. "

But yes, I do suppose that it is between gs3 and 4.
But...
Hmm.
That leaves minimal time for a case.
And shouldn't Edgey be on Phoenix's side now?

I thought it just meant that there are 4 games in the series. So far, that is.

I really like the idea of game makers paying more attention to female games, but if their idea of doing that is by putting more ads in fashion magazines...they have a long way to go.

If our last demographic poll is to be trusted, CR's membership is around 60% male, which is more than a lot of gaming fandoms can say.
That's not bad, considering most other fandoms are what, like 90% male or so? ^_^;;

That's true. Plus I think alot of people on the forums either don't claim what gender they are or are lying about it (which has always baffled me.)
Thanks to Blinq for the awesome sig. Click the sig, see my stuff.

I guess they are under an impression that females prefer love stories,and unfortunately it's usually true...

So, are these 'new' fans then not supposed to play the games? Are they supposed to just attend the music concerts and buy merchandise there or something? Does 'to part 4' include part 4? Are they supposed to be interested in game 5?
"Not for women'?
I suppose it's not 'specifically' for women or something. The main target audience probably still is males, but it seems more neutral than most other games (love/friendship/relationship based subplots, strong characterisation, strong female mentor, that whole matriarchical Kurain subplot).
LOL parody sig trend. Phoenix/Maya Day is Sept 5!

The article is using the Gyakuten Saiban series (of which there are currently four) as an example of a game that was not originally marketed towards women, but is starting to go in that direction now by targeting women-oriented magazines and the Takarazuka. It's not insinuating anything about 5.

So what's wrong with having males in the fanbase?
Who said there was anything? We're not talking about having fewer guys in fandom, just more women i.e. more people in fandom in general.

Probably, I was taking the translation words literally when the original probably isn't literally the same...
So I guess they think after they see the musical they decided to play the games, having got interested by the huge advertisement of the 'opera'.
..speaking of, has it happened yet? Is there a more detailed plot synopsis around than the one on here before? It sounded so weird, I'd love to know the story in more detail (and when it's 'supposed' to be set in the timeline).
