The tablet emerges or will bury the Palm machine Nintendo is in bad condition.

With the advent of tablet computers, the era of handheld gaming may be coming to an end-the latest survey by Futuresource Consulting, a British consultancy, shows that tablets have been the first to replace the Nintendo 3DS handheld gaming machine as the most popular personal gaming device in the UK's children. Of the British children between the ages of 3 and 12, 44% already have a tablet computer, compared with 4 of children aged 3 to 30%. In addition, the device that it wants to buy for children in the next six months is twice times the number of parents who choose a smartphone or handheld game computer. In addition to tablets, smartphones may also have a knock-on effect on handheld consoles – 25% of children aged 9 to 10 in Britain have a smartphone, and nearly half the proportion of children aged 11 to 12. And while there are so many free mobile apps, parents are willing to spend on mobile apps for their children-17% of those surveyed spend more than 100 pounds a year on mobile apps (about 1061 yuan). The figures are bad news for companies like Nintendo. The sale of the Wii U-game has led to a fall in the company's share price, and the decline of the handheld will only add insult to the veteran gaming giant. However, the rise of the tablet computer may end the handheld game, but it is not a threat to the children's book industry-reading is still the most popular after-school activities, 45% of children will read every day.
