This is great news for all app developers or those considering to develop an app for iOS, according to a survey done by Nielsen, U.S. consumers aged 6-12 are more interested in Apple’s iOS products for Christmas than anything else. While the new Nintendo Wii U did take the #2 spot, it was still far behind the iPad. The iPad wasn’t the only Apple device to make the top five, others included the iPod Touch, iPad Mini and the iPhone.

According to the results almost half the children stated an interest in the full-sized iPad (up from 44% last year), and 36 percent of the kids wanted the new iPad Mini. Furthermore the kids also showed interest in are dedicated gaming hardware, with 39 percent excited to own Nintendo’s just-released console offering, Wii U.

Nielsen also surveyed persons aged 13+ and found the iPad also topped that list.
