Wouldn't this be skewed by BotW being released so recently? I'm honestly surprised that so many kids have that much love for Zelda.
Are these people that grew up playing Twilight vs Millenials that grew up playing Ocarina?

Millenials continue to prove why they are the worst.
In what sense?

Oreo? Lol
Pretty cool to see Zelda topping the "cool" scale but it doesn't surprise me at all. Step into any Hot Topic and take a look at the front counters.

Not all that surprised about Xbox.
They cemented their place with kids with Minecraft and Roblox and various early access titles. Neither of my boys generally play ps4 cause all their friends use x1's.
My youngest is also desperate to play Zelda site to its presence im TV ads and YT over the lady few months.
YouTube is also pretty much to them what kids cartoons were to me when I was their age.

Really surprised by Zelda there. What would've been teens' release during their lifetime? Twilight Princess?

How are Oreos and Doritos "cool"? I loved them growing up, but ask kids I've never heard kids refer to them as "cool".
Just with the added hyphen.
I'm being unnecessarily picky about how the brand is actually spelled.
I would think a big part of it is Twilight Princess on the Wii presumably being one of their first major action-adventure games given the age range of the people involved.

Maybe I'm being too picky, but most of the favorite "games" are just franchises. Would be interested to see if they specified which in the series.
Yep, another reminder that I'm getting old and out-of-touch.
I feel one of the undersold aspects of Microsoft's success is how many younger children they managed to pick up starting around the time of the Kinect, and shortly afterwards Minecraft, in the U.S. and the U.K.

I really want everyone to know how much more Titanfall 2 sold than Nioh. It was a staggering amount.
League of Legends or Dota 2 aren't popular among US? But CS:GO on the list.

Twilight Princess, the DS games, the HD ports or 3ds remakes and the massive merchandising push that makes Zelda cool to wear for kids.
The 360 found its way into tons of homes early on and was the home for half of the biggest IPs in the list.

The COD Generation. My people.

Why are video games always "an escape from reality?" I understand for a lot of people, they are, but for me they've always been the only art form that brings forth interaction. That they have to be a way to escape the real world isn't necessarily derivative, but it paints a picture of the every day life as unassailable for the medium's fan.
Same for me. I would have expected that from Millennials, not Gen-Z.
MOBAs tend to be much more popular in Asia and Europe.
i think it's the old people? i'm not sure anymore. maybe it's the younger generation?
Only important if you are 30+
and if you think your kids are gonna love it, think again daddy-o, the very fact that you like it means that your kids will eventually hate it

Outside of the videogame section, this is a very well designed print piece.
And the market research is interesting. Poor quicksilver. I'd imagine ~16 years ago, when I was would be a prime age for this study, quicksilver would have been highly recognized and highly thought of as cool.

GoPro is a popular brand with teens? I assumed GoPro had largely been subsumed by people just using phones.

Wait, no Apple? Oh ,it's google
Not to turn this into a console war or anything, but Millenials seem to be the ones with their heads screwed on straight here...
