I think the main reason players(both male and female) prefer a male role model is because males are better at physical roles(its in men's genetic). I dont even know many female gamers that prefer female main characters.

I only liked metroid because i thought Samus was a man!

FFXIII imo sucked, not sure if it was the female lead(i used fang as my main character), or the linearity of the game or lack of things to do... tho i loved the combat system.
