I remember when I was a child, I loved getting Nerf footballs and Lego’s for Christmas, but apparently kids today in our tech obsessed society can’t be bothered with anything that isn’t a Nintendo Wii, iPad or other cool gadget.
Duracell created a report of the “Top Requested Christmas Toys for 2010” and here it is:
The top 10 toys for Christmas 2010, according to the report are: 1.) iPhone 4 (14%) 2.) iPod touch (13%) 3.) iPad (12%) 4.) Kinect for Xbox (6%) 5.) Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters / Kung Zhu Hamsters (5%) 6.) Flip Video Camera (4%) 7.) Toy Story 3 Jet Pack Buzz Lightyear (4%) 8.) PlayStation Move (4%) 9.) LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 Video Game (3%) 10) Barbie Video Girl (3%)
What’s more amazing is that 39 percent of children in all age categories surveyed wanted Apple products, while 17% of 5-8 yeaer old’s wanted something from Apple, 50% of 9-12 year olds wanted an Apple product and 13-16 years olds requested Apple products 66% of the time.
With 2,138 children polled the numbers should be a pretty accurate demographic for U.S. Children.
Even more surprising 3 out of 5 children polled (same number of parents) said they would buy whatever would “keep their youngsters quiet throughout the holidays.”
So basically Apple products are meant to shut up a generation…yup that sounds about right. [via SlashGear ]
