Kids Like Nintendo Better Than McDonalds
Out of 100 of the most beloved, recognized brands by children and teens in America, the Nintendo Wii and DS scored the top spots according to a survey conducted by Smarty Pants, a research organization for youth and family marketers.
In the “Young Love” survey, the Nintendo systems took first and second place followed by Oreo and McDonalds. Other electronic devices that made the list include Apple’s iPod at number 12 and PlayStation at 14. Xbox made it on the list at number 42.
Smarty Pants surveyed 4,700 American kids and their parents online over nine months. The survey included more than 260 consumer brands across 20 product categories.
It’s no surprise kids these days like their electronics. Most of us would probably take a game system over an order of six piece McNuggets any day.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
