Google reveals the coolest video games, video game consoles among US teens 13-17
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
It's people born since around 1996 or 1997 depending on who you ask.
Millennials (originally Generation Y) are more people born 1980 through 1995 or 1996.
Generation X is more 1965-1979-ish.

What? Apple is top right, both highly aware and highly perceived as cool. Page 9:
Most surprising thing out of this for me is that Vice doesn't connect with teens, though it connects highly with millennials. Obviously their content skews older, but seems like there's always some of that residual melt-water. I'd imagine that among milennials, vice would have a high 'cool' factor and be in the low-middle for awareness.
Also for the Xbox/Playstation distinction, looking at the plot, they're almost identical. According to the data, slightly more teens are aware of Playstation and teens think Xbox is slightly more cool than Playstation. It's essentially a wash though. If you compare similar brand relationships like Target and WalMart or Wendys and McDonalds, there's a large chasm between the two.
Anyone born post 1996.

Gen Z is the newest gen of kids.

People born between the mid 90s and early 2000s. They're like Post-Millennials.

Something is fishy here. Netflix has no shows for ages 13-17
Google doesn't have to try.
Also, I would think that Google would try be as accurate as possible, but lack of Apple is making me think that some skewing of data is going on.

I could see that if they hadn't killed it off so quickly. Doesn't this gen who bought into that as kids feel jaded it was undersupported and cut off quickly? Additionally, Minecraft is on every relevant platform known to man and they were not even the company to invent it.
Thank god I'm not considered a millennial

The last half of Millenial is the same as Gen Z. I don't see how this is a different thing. Not that I really believe in any actual predictive power of "generations" anyway, but I don't think they need to invent a new one every 8 years now.
By the time the Xbox 360 came out, they were already 10 or so years old, and we know it took awhile for the Playstation 3 to start matching sales of the 360. By the time that happened, they were already teens and cemented themselves to believe Xbox is the coolest with Doritos and Mountain Dew.

Oh. Guess that includes me (98), though I'm a legal adult at this point. Feels weird.

I think using the word "cool" through me off. I never think of oreos being "cool" or cod being "cool". I'm getting old....
It came to Xbox in May 2012 when the 360 was in a dominating position in both markets, and PS3 only in December 2013.
A lot of those people moved on to games like Call of Duty, Halo, and of course GTA around that time too.
Roblox, the newest leading super game among kids, is also on Xbox One, but not on PlayStation 4 yet.

These kids were babies when the PS1 came out and would have been too young to own a PS2. Most of Their first exposure to video games was the 7th generation when the 360 was popular.

That makes sense. I suppose I am looking to much into the bigger picture as it is painted now and not how it looked back then.

Games-wise this absolutely reflects my experience talking to students from 2nd to 9th grade about video games, except that BotW wasn't out the last time I had a chat. (edit: it's also specifically Black Ops! Kids played BlOps2 way into the PS4 era because MP was free on Playstation, learned to deeply love the MP of that sub-franchise and are big on BlOps3 if they are older than 14 with the money for PS+)
Brands are obviously different since I live in Germany, we don't even have Doritos here really.

The Greatest Generation, born before 1928
The Silent Generation, born between 1928 and 1945
The Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964
Generation X, born between 1965 and 1980
Millennials, born between 1981 and 1997
The source of their success is probably the same reason I love the way Nintendo has handled voice chat in online gaming (re: avoided it like the plague). Only took a couple years of having 9 year olds dropping gay slurs, N-bombs and "fucked your mom" jokes while playing Halo for me to want to mute the entire planet.

All this time I've been a millennial? People talk bad about them and I didn't realize I was born in what's considered millennial time. Lol
But I love Oreos and Doritos!

Sony and Nintendo should give up and sell to Xbox for Gen Z

ugh - not looking forward to all the Gen Z members in the coming years
seems like a very easily skewable poll though. really surprised zelda is #1 for the sole reason that it doesnt have multiplayer.

The 360 was consistently popular last gen so that makes sense. In a few years it'll be PlayStation again because of Sony's current domination.

I think it's fair to assume that teens will watch shows/movies that is supposedly for an older audience. I mean, think of all the R rated movies you saw from when you were 12-17, despite those technically not being for you.

Can confirm my younger siblings (12 and 9) are more interested in Xbox than PS for exactly this reason.

Since people are asking about Oreos:
Sucks.
Every weekend we go grocery shopping and the gf never lets me get those. And every week i swear there are awesome new flavors I've never seen before. Totally get why those would be up there.
Saw some Red Velvet ones the other weekend. Looked like they probably taste amazing.
We're already here, among your ranks.
No matter what generation we may be; Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, or Gen Z, we can all agree that Mountain Dew is bad and taste of piss.
I feel old, and I haven't even reached 25 yet.
still doesn't really make sense why it would make it to a list of the coolest brand for teens.
Oreo over Apple? Really?

I mean I guess that makes sense. It's the same with Ocarina of Time for millennials.
teens can't afford Apple products.

That's very interesting, because the constant barrage of media coverage about Millenials seems skewed much younger to me.

And there we mocked Keighley for selling out with the Doritos 5-6 years ago. Little did we know he was at the forefront of bridging a generational gap in gamers.
