The Nielsen Company is out with a new list of likely purchases, which pits companies like Apple, Sony and Microsoft against each other for your money.  The two part survey first wanted to look at the purchasing habit of kids 6-12 (so really, what they want sense no 6 year old can afford a PS3 or iPad on their own) and found that 21% of them want a PlayStation 3 versus 18% who want a Nintendo Wii and only 14% who want a Xbox 360.

Next, the survey posed the same question to teenagers, ages 13 and above. Again, the PlayStation landed ahead of the Xbox 360 with 13% wanting one in the next 6 month, versus 8%. Oddly enough, in this category, the Nintendo Wii came on top at 15% which caters greatly to kids.
