Probably not. It'd probably be a poor seller and could put the company's stock in jeopardy.
I could be wrong and there could be millions of people who are clamoring for a video game with a self-respecting female character but just knowing the kind of people who are driving the electronic entertainment industry, I can't see it being a hot seller.
