This was my experience watching the video games episode of Adam Ruins Everything.
"They kept games in the toy aisle! Of course girls weren't playing them."
I played then... then again I wasn't a girl at the time but I'm a woman now..
If by that you mean in electronics locked away behind glass. Than yes.... the toy aisle
I still remember Toys R Us had a separate section for video games. I don't just mean a separate aisle. A separate corner of the store. Though I don't recall whether or not anything was locked behind glass. The more expensive stuff, like the consoles, was probably behind the counter, though.
Wal-mart had a separate aisle. It was by itself, and the nearby aisles were kind of split 50/50 for "boy" or "girl" toys. Like I think lego and action figures were on one side, Barbie on the other?
