Two-thirds of children with a handheld games console also own an iOS device.
New research from Nielsen shows the power of the mobile gaming platform, claiming it boosted total gaming time by seven per cent between 2011 and 2012.
This is reflected in the rise in ownership of mobile devices for gaming. The data says 66 per cent of American households with children aged six to 12 that own a Nintendo DS or Sony PSP also own an iOS device.
However, gaming on the whole is also growing with more than half of US homes in possession of at least one games console, reaching 56 per cent in January 2012, up from 50 per cent last year.
