Computer games are the must have gift for thirty-somethings this Christmas, according to a survey by battery manufacturer Energizer.

Just under a third (30 per cent) of 16 -24 year olds would choose a games console compared to nearly half of 25–34 year olds (42 per cent).

The poll shows computer games are now more popular than ever with older generations.

The survey also reveals women are more likely to buy their partners a sat-nav system for the car, despite men’s claims they’re better drivers.

According to Energizer’s research the top 10 gadgets on people’s wish list this Christmas are: -

1) High-Definition TV/plasma
2) Nintendo Wii
3) Laptop Mac/PC
4) Satellite navigation system
5) Digital camera
6) Nintendo DS Lite
7) Sony PS3
8) iPod/MP3
9) Mobile phone
10) Digital radio

The Energizer survey was conducted by Tickbox.net with a sample size of 1,608 distributed throughout the United Kingdom.
