Nielson says Nintendo am not doomed. But entire video game industry is.

Thanks for these great charts, Chandler.

I worry the results might not be wholly accurate, though, only because the Nielsen methodology is flawed. Although it has gotten better. In any event, I think the argument that the video game industry is doomed is way off. Video games have never been bigger or more commonly accepted as a mainstream medium.

I was also thinking about how accurate the charts could be.

For example, in the kids between 6 and 12 years chart the Wii appears with a 20%. With WiiU being out how could it be so high? And an e-reader has a 21%. Since when do kids prefer books to videogames?

And in the 13+ chart the e-reader has a 13%, more than PS3 (8%), Xbox360 (7%), and Wii (6%).

Oh, well. At least computers are not doomed. Although I wonder how many of them are MacBooks -.-
