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

[EmCeeGrammar]

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.

[Beezy]

ipads are toys, news at 11

[Great Rumbler]

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

PC gaming, wave of the future

[cool breeze]

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.

[Diunx]

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]

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

Hopefully, they all buy Chu Chu Rocket. 

[AdmiralViscen]

Is that on iPad? fuck.

[ferrarimanf355]

Is that on iPad? fuck.

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

[OptimoPeach]

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

Handheld gaming future.

[OptimoPeach]

I'm already almost resigned to that myself

[Sho Nuff]

Yeah Chu Chu Rocket is great, even on the iPhone it's fantastico

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 see all the current game consoles on the chart; what am I missing?

[TripleA]

This will all change in March 2011.

kids are dumb confirmed again

Handheld gaming future.

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

Ah, thanks.

[archie4208]

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.
