I know my six year old nephew and eight year old niece would think of me as a great auntie if I could afford to buy them one. Unfortunately, my financial circumstances will not stretch that far. I have gotten them Nintendos - one is broken and the other currently lost. They will have to wait until they are more responsible before I make that kind of investment. They have my hand me down 1st gen iTouch. The cost of the Nintendo games vs the cost of the iPad games even the equation though. I spent a fortune on their Nintendo games.
