Is this true for yur household?
We have 1 Leapster Explorer with video cam,2 Nintendo DS’s, and 1 Nintendo Wii. I am in the market for an XBox 360 with Kinect. None of these items are for me, they are for my son’s learning and enjoyment pleasure (and with the Kinect, add exercise value!).
That’s why I am sharing this study from the Toy Book Report on the day of my video reviews.
Kids are driving household purchases of consumer electronic (CE) devices, according to
Kids and Consumer Electronics, 2011 Edition, the latest report from The NPD Group. The report showed that, when looking at devices purchased in the past year, 78 percent of portable video game systems purchased and 56 percent of portable digital media players (PDMP) purchased were given to a child. The report also detailed that 73 percent of kids use computers purchased, 74 percent use televisions, and nearly 60 percent of kids are using a portable or console gaming system.
For households with kids ages 4 to 14, newer devices, such as e-readers and media tablets, were acquired at single-digit rates (8 percent and 5 percent, respectively). The report also notes a slight decline in the average number of days in which kids use cell phones, PDMPs, and portable video game systems since last year. For all other devices, the average number of days has remained stable or declined, suggesting kids are maxed out on time.
