Smartphones and tablets replacing Nintendo as entry point for gaming

Smartphones and tablets have overtaken Nintendo as the primary devices that introduce young players to gaming, according to a recent survey conducted by the Magid Games Team. The convenience of mobile devices has made them more popular among the youngest players, leading to significant implications for game developers and publishers who are trying to win over the next generation of players. The survey also found that the percentage of children under three years old playing games has increased significantly, indicating that gaming is starting at a much younger age.
