I love these surveys from Nielsen - I look at them every year, as a way to help with my investing decisions. It lets you cut through the FUD and see what consumers (in this case little consumers) really want.
Some of my takeaways this year:
* Despite the increasing competition, demand for Apple products is up. That makes me comfortable in my Apple bets.
* The interest in the Wii U is way higher than I expected - I thought it was going to crash and burn. Might be time to dip into Nintendo's stock, which has been crushed in the last few years ($76 in 2008 to $15 now!)
* The Microsoft Surface isn't cool and kids don't want it
* Playstation Vita is DOA - kids still want iPod Touches or iPads
* I need to buy more AAPL
