When even Mike finds it startling you know you’re onto something. 

Clearly there is something wrong with the entertainment capabilities of the average UK woman if UK man would rather spend the night with their PS3.  But the the truth is, no-one knows just how bad things really are.

Analysis
A man has instant access to any number of in-depth reviews of new and old games, broken down by category: graphics, sound, gameplay and so on. And the fact is that the average console game scores around 70% in reviews.

If we assume that 70% constitutes a “pass”; and that maybe on a good day, with a few beers, we’d be happy with a game scoring perhaps 50%; it seems clear that UK woman have a good deal of development work ahead of them to improve their overall entertainment level.

Improving the average score
Just how much their scores need improving, we don’t know. Is it a problem with the graphics, the user interface or the control system? Does the sound grate? Is the gameplay just too boring – have we seen it all before? 

The obvious solution is to introduce a review system for wives and girlfriends. When we know from this month’s PC Gamer and What GF, that GTA 5 got 89% for graphics but Justine upstairs scored 93% on her oral, then our course is clear and everyone’s happy.
