I think that one of the main reasons that there is a lack of equality is that the most popular game very likely will feature a set of characters that are mainly male. As action is the best-selling game, the stereotypical strong, muscly action-man protagonist will often make an appearance and is usually the character that is picked by the player because they seem 'butch' and 'masculine'.

 In the occasion that a female is the main protagonist (such as Lara Croft), they will either be dressed in something quite revealing or a tight bodysuit. These are usually characters from action and shooter games; however, in games such as Super Mario, the female characters aren't featured a lot and are represented as helpless- which is when the male character swoops in to save her.
