Nintendo Wii Hits “Hot Dozen” Toy List

Posted by Christopher Sasaki Categories: Culture, Nintendo, Wii

Wii Toy Wishes magazine unveiled its list of the “Hot Dozen” toys for the 2006 holiday season, and this year’s list featured Nintendo’s Wii console. The Toy Wishes annual event helps launch the holiday season for toy makers and retailers, and being selected for the list can help smaller toys get a foothold in the market. Now, the Wii probably won’t need any help selling all of the consoles that Nintendo ships this holiday, but it is a testament to the broad appeal of the console that members of the toy industry feel confident in adding the console to the list.

I was hoping, but knew it wouldn’t be, that Tickle Me Elmo wouldn’t have made the list lol. Seems they plan their shortages just to make a crazy rush and cause prices to rise on ebay. Sure, it helps with promotion but pretty jacked up when talking about a toy a kid wants. They don’t understand not being able to get their elmo because they held back stock just to make the demand/shortage higher. Sorry for the rant lol.

Now, Nintendo better not be doing the same thing because I will be pissed if I don’t get my toy lol because there weren’t enough to meet demand lol.

What happened to the Wii that was just a small little console that is turned on and plays really fun innovative games, and can surf the Net on your TV, and that’s it? The whole concept of this thing in the beginning was to be simple and not take over your living room (media center kind of thing). Isn’t that why it can’t play DVDs? Every one already has a DVD player right? Well, everyone also has email and calendars and www.weather.com and cnn.com and a photo viewing program. I really don’t get these features. Why not save a couple million in R & D budget and not include half of these channels, then make the console 200 bucks?
Makes sense to me anyway..
