I think this pretty much just shows that the teenage market for deducated handhelds is basically non existent. It also explains a lot of the 3DS's woes with the software being so expensive. Going forward, kids have to be the target market for dedicated handhelds and Nintendo needs to work at getting the prices down. I don't know what Sony has planned for Vita, but it's obvious now that stuff like Killzone, Call of Duty, and AC aren't going to help.

My 2 year old loves the iPad.
I ripped the first season of Backyardigans and put it on there for her, and she watches Toopy and Binoo on Youtube. It also has simple games that she can play. She almost never watches tv but uses the iPad daily (unless I "forget" to charge it).
Get used to this guys. This is the generation were 2 and 3 year old children are experts at navigating tablets and smartphones.

Yep, my 2 year old loves Toca Train on the iphone. Also somehow knows how to boot up games himself, take photos and call people he is not meant to

Completely agreed, and I've been harping on this for a while now. I don't think there's been a hit Western handheld title aimed at that audience since Chains of Olympus, and these numbers indicate that that's not going to change.
Mirror of Fate is also all but certain to bomb, though that's just about the only upcoming Western 3DS release I can think of aimed at that audience.

Those percentages are shipped numbers.
Joke?

My 2 year old nephew is a boss with an iPhone
He searches YouTube for Wiggles videos, sends texts and passes it off when phone calls are coming in
I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted one of his own in a couple years
Kids now are pretty clever
