For the fourth straight year, it looks like Nintendo’s Wii will be the hottest item during the Holiday shopping season.
A survey of over 1,000 random wishes, conducted by online gift-giving site Lottay, found that, for both dudes and ladies, the Wii topped the list of most popular holiday wishes.
Can’t say we’re too surprised about that. Now at $199, and with a helluva strong software lineup available today, we’d expecting nothing less, but we are a tad surprised by what Lottay also found.
According to their survey:
· The Wii is wished for twice as much as Sony and Xbox 360 combined.
· Top wished for consoles, in order of popularity: Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 3, Xbox 360.
· People are also wishing for more Wii accessories and games than for other consoles.
· The most wished for game that appeared along with a Wii console is Super Smash Bros.
· The hottest new game is Left for Dead 2.
· The most popular accessory is the Wii Fit.
· Top product wishes are the Nintendo Wii, Wii games and accessories.
· Top wishes for men include the Nintendo Wii, cash as a gift, travel, love and sky diving (tied), iPod, and a car.
· Top wishes for women include the Nintendo Wii, travel and vacations, cash as a gift, massage, iPod, and boots.
PlayStation 3 more wished for than Xbox 360. Now that’s interesting.
What do you make of this list? Reasonable? Not so much? Jackie?
I ended up buying a Wii Pedestal Base to organize my controllers and frequently used games. Ordered it an newPCgadgets website
