They have to come up with a new ad. You can't play the same one that is annoying as shit every single time. It needs to be a campaign with at least a few options... I swear, I'm so sick of the snapping over and over.

It looks like Wii U ads were not that bad.
Kids aged 6-12
13 and up
Yeah, Walmart's WiiU Inventory stock says otherwise.

8% higher than Kinect isn't exactly something to crow about

Pretty awesome for WiiU. But if Nintendo doesn't patch this annoying random freezing/lock, word of mouth will kill it quickly.
In two words: Angry Birds. Seriously. I'm sure even his sockets are branded with Angry Birds.

Damn, Apple, leave some marketshare for everyone else.

You sisn't play no video games? Foe shame... Though seriously it's not really surprising with a decent advertising campaign, really want/need don't really come into it.

Why would a 6 year old want an iPhone?

Advertising? Hype? Seeing adults and older kids with them?
Don't you remember being 6?

I guess Nintendo aren't trying to create hype by keeping supply lo-

...wait a minute!
They don't know the iPod Touch is a thing.
I wonder how many parents will run a mile from that things pricing.
I have an iPhone, Xbox, wii, ds, and an iPad. My 5 and 6 year old cousins are currently living with me and my family so they're around me a lot. Out of all of my stuff, the iPad and ds is what they want most. So not suprising to see iPad that high, but very suprising seeing the 3ds that low.

To complement his iPad.
Wii U is still trending on the top of Google. I think they're just doing a very successful job marketing it to the right audiences, young teens and parents. I seen a commercial for it at both Wreck It Ralph and Lincoln, for example.

MS still sell the Kinect right? I think its just the software that does shit.
As I say though - the way its worded is going to cause confusion to the people asked - especially kids who won't really know why something is called a Kinect and the other is an Xbox.
Sad but true.

Do kids play with legos, nerf guns, and the like anymore?

According to the commercials only teenagers in pop-punk bands play with NERF stuff.
But the RAM and CPU and GPU man. Don't these kids know?

What kid doesn't want every single thing on that list.
They know the eDRAM and DSP will fix everything.
Given it's not remotely aimed at kids I'd say that's mighty impressive!

Apple TV am cry.
Seriously, though, maybe it's because I came from a family with five kids, but do parents actually buy kids Ipads, computers and laptops for their kids as Christmas presents?

Touch raises the question to me that the cost/function is wrong on the 3DS.
If they had a more multi-media system they might do a bit better even at a higher price range :/
The exact same reason they ask for any game playing device.
They might when the next consoles come out. Remember all the Genesis and SNES commercials? Even if it's not that direct, they may notice when Jimmy's PS4 plays Call of Duty 6 with better graphics.

I think Nielson only asked for electronic devices, but kids are spoiled fucking rotten these days so it's a toss up.

That's like asking do people really gamble away thousands of pounds/dollars, some rich or silly people do sure. Of course you'll find some parent out there who got suckered into buying it.

Wouldn't an iPad for a 6 or 7 year old get tons of scratches and fingerprints and goo all over it? anyone with a kid around that age have experience with this? I probably would've took a piss on it at 5 or 6, had no idea what i was doing. Times have really changed

Neither my daughter nor any of her friends give a damn about Mario and Nintendo (6-8 year olds). They want two things - a 360 to play Minecraft on (just Minecraft, nothing else), and an iPad Mini. My how things change.
I know. In my house the list of wants goes
1. Wii U
2. iphone
3. 3DS
We already have a 360 and a PS3.

After Apple's intolerable ads, I thought Microsoft would try something different and better. Not being annoying was the only thing they had to accomplish.
They failed. Badly. What a terrible commercial.
4% sounds about right for number of kids who know what an AppleTV is.
They know about PGPGU and asynchronous gameplay.
