Nielsen Says Kids Want Their iPad

s-nielsen-largeIn almost a changing of the guard, apparently kids age 13 and under want an iPad or an iPod Touch more than any other electronic this holiday season, according to the latest Nielsen survey.  That exclamation of happiness you just heard?  That came from Apple.  That groan?  That just came from parents' wallets.

The new survey says that within the next six months, 31 percent of the respondents (parents) say they have an "interest" in picking up an iPad this holiday season.  Next up are computers and then then iPod Touch at 29 percent.

Following that, includes the Nintendo DS, the PS3, Microsoft's Kinect systems and then several other consoles such as TVs and then E-readers.

Have a gander for yourself at the data below:

This could certainly raise a few questions such as: Has iOS gaming indeed overthrown those of the main platforms?  Is it more that parents would rather use the kiddies' iDevices for themselves? 

How about it?  For our MaclLife parents out there, have you found your little ones are starting to shift over toward all things Apple?  Or do Nintendo, Sony and the like still reign supreme?  Feel free to leave your stories below!
