Surprised at LoZ being popular with "Gen Z" (is that what were calling them?)

Why games for +18 are the coolest ones among under 18 people?
Wait I thought I was a Millenial at age 28?
No Nintendo in brands?

Interesting that Xbox beat out PlayStation... Sales don't reflect this. Though I suppose that is because millennials have the buying power.
Outside of the videogame section, this is a very well designed print piece.
And the market research is interesting. Poor quicksilver. I'd imagine ~16 years ago, when I was would be a prime age for this study, quicksilver would have been highly recognized and highly thought of as cool.
That's the age group label. The general usage seems to be just shorthand for "teens these day", regardless of what millenial is offically defined asThat's very interesting, because the constant barrage of media coverage about Millenials seems skewed much younger to me.
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 is Gen Z? Never heard of that one before.
Apple sells in a year more than twice as many iPhones as the highly successful Wii sold in its entire lifetime, at double the ASP.Nintendo can't beat fucking Doritos on the list of top brands and folks think that the Switch is going to be a repeat of the Wii's success? C'mon.
Yeah but I don't think any of these Gen Zers are rushing out to buy a Wii U or Switch just for Breath of the Wild.
What the hell is the next generation gonna be called if we already used Z? Are we going back around to A? Maybe going on to 1? We need top minds on this.

Man I just don't understand how a generation that is that well informed could think xbox was a cooler brand than playstation? It does not make any sense. I don't trust this data. Its just objectively wrong...
Big difference should be that Millennials remember the world before the internet was ubiquitous and before 9/11. Gen Z doesn't.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials

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.
Since people are asking about Oreos:

My 15 year brother and his friends all have Xbox, and play a ton of Smite, Ark, Minecraft and Madden/NBA when those sports seasons are onAs a father of a 13 year old and 15 year old, this list is so wrong. Minecraft?? They think Minecraft is a baby game and wouldn't be caught dead playing it. And Xbox?? They both have PS4's and so do all of their friends.
What's cool is PS4, Destiny, and sports games.
Doritos & Oreo more popular than Apple? haha wtf
Does Nintendo resonate, or do those specific franchises resonate?Zelda and Pokemon. Excellent. I've always had the impression that Nintendo just didn't resonate with Gen Z. Obviously they're not going to dominate like before, but they're in good, sustainable shape if they can continue carving out little fiefdoms of mindshare.

Chrome is in a 10 ten coolest brands lost? Really? Seems like this list is a bit of a scam. I don't see teens ranking a web browser as a top brand.
I was born in 97. Am I a millennial or part of gen Z?
Either way, I can't say I relate to much of this apart from thinking Zelda is great, probably why I ended up on Gaf tbh haha.

This lost me at X-Box.
In what sense?
That's not what i am talking about. Kids today only watch reality crap, that isn't available on netflix.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.
