November 29th, 2010 No Comments
It seems that Steve Jobs is slowly seeing the realization of his dream. For the iPad, the iPhone and the iPod to be recognized as true gaming devices.
This Christmas, a lot more kids want the iPad and the iPod as a preferred game media gift. According to a recent study made by Nielsen and published by 1UP said that “31 percent of children ages 6 to 12 wanted an iPad within the next six months, while 29 percent wanted an iPod Touch. Both lead the Nintendo DS, which lead all traditional consoles with 25 percent. A survey of teens (age 13+) came up with similar results; 18 percent of those polled said they want an iPad. The DS fell quite a bit with that age group though, polling at 8 percent. Instead, the Nintendo Wii was the top traditional console at 15 percent.”

This is really cool. So, Pacquiao’s a gamer? Well… he could be. His name on a boxing game is definitely a good idea. Maybe they can start even on Facebook or something… and that will add to his coffer for sure.
Anyways, enjoy the clip. I won’t be surprised if a real Manny Pacquiao boxing game is in the works! Have fun in today’s Holiday. Peace!
