What do software companies believe girls want from computer games, and are their views accurate??

recently, many software companies have become interested in designing a computer game for girls. Mattel Interactive and Electronic Arts are one of these companies. Mattel Interactive and Electronic Arts had workshop in March to address the question "What do software companies believe girls want from computer games, and are their views accurate?”They found following results:

Girls like software with strong characters, such as Amelia and the Purple Moon characters.
Girls like creating rather than destroying in games, and like to print out their products.
Girls like to win, but in more cooperative ways than their male counterparts.
Girls like puzzle-solving, learning in depth, and working with rich-textured games.
