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.

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?

Except they all probably already have a Xbox.

The xboxs are probably dead which is why they want a ps3.

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.

Diunx · « **Reply #14 on:** November 23, 2010, 07:30:07 PM »

E-readers would be higher if kids could read spiderman on a kindle.

Hopefully, they all buy Chu Chu Rocket.

Yeah, and everyone's saying that Sega nailed the touch screen controls, too.

So what you're saying is Apple's marketing is most effective among the puerile? Interesting

I'm already almost resigned to that myself

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.
