FYI,
There have been some discussions here at Game Banshee on gender and gaming. I can't quite recall in which forums they occurred, but if you do a search they should come up.
Personally, I think most game marketing is focused on men. Specifically, men in the 18-35 demographic. In addition to the scantily clad women portrayed in visuals, there is also a fairly heavy emphasis on gore. I don't like to draw stereotypes on whether or not men are more inclined towards gore than women, because I think that is highly debatable. However, I have every suspician that the industry and those doing the marketing perceive that men are drawn to lavish images of blood and guts.
