I found this sentence in a CNN article on videogames a little weird:

"Hit games like "The Sims" appeal to both sexes, but the game industry has yet to create a successful title for women."

Why does the fact that men also play the sims mean that it is not a successful title for women? The Sims and Dance Dance Revolution have been probably an order of magnitude at least more successful among women than any previous videogames, shouldn't they count as successful titles for women?

Erin and David disagree with me and think this sentence largely makes sense, what do you all think? Bessie, do you think i'm being ridiculous here?
