Of course they want them. There are commercials every five seconds. If I was a kid, I'd want one too.

I messed up my ipod (wifi isn't working, condensation related) without even trying. It would be ill advised to buy an idevice for a kid.

I don't see "game console" as a possible choice on that list, Manabyte.

more kids want a PS3 more than a 360, Wii, 3DS, and PSP, etc?
more kids want a PlayStation Move controller more than a 360, Kinect, or PSP?

what are they teaching these kids in school?

Kids want a PS3 because their dads are hogging the 360. Dads don't want to pony up for live for the kid so they want a PS3 for the free online.

Dads don't want the kid messing with his COD ratios.

For a minute, I thought by "E-Reader" it meant that stupid gameboy device that let you play Donkey Kong and Excitebike by swiping trading cards through it.

Handheld gaming future.

Slap a d-pad and some buttons on one of these devices and I'll be cool with that.  Otherwise, yuck...too many games just don't work with the touch interface.

I don't see "game console" as a possible choice on that list, Manabyte.
I see all the current game consoles on the chart; what am I missing?

Whether gamers like it or not, portable gaming is the future of gaming.

Yeah a few kids that answered want something they will find nothing to do with and get bored of easily, so?

Most of them already own Wiis.
