Nintendo Wii in high demand.
No surprise there really then but more figures this time from Hitwise suggest that the Nintendo Wii is one of this Christmas's must have items accounting for 6 in every 10 searches for a games console! Strange thing about these figures is here in the UK at lease the Xbox 360 is currently being search for by consumers more than the Sony PS3 computer. Sony shouldn't be too upset though as the Sony Bravia kdl-40v3000 LCD HDTV is rising through the ranks.
Up to 01/12/07 below are the most searched for terms by consumers on shopping and price comparison websites:
1. Nintendo Wii
2. Nintendo DS
3. Ugg boots
4. Lego
5. Bratz
6. iPhone
7. iPod
8. Barbie
9. iPod Nano
10. Xbox 360 
Robin Goad from Hitwise is quoted as saying "The Nintendo Wii is hugely popular this year, accounting for six in every ten searches for a games console. The popularity of the Wii and the Nintendo DS mean that there were more searches for Nintendo products in November than Apple products. This is despite the significant increases in searches for both the iPod and the iPhone, which is currently the most searched for mobile phone in the UK."
Other tech related products that are being searched for a lot include the rc1776, Garmin c340 Street Pilot, Verizon Phones, RCA Stereo rs2047 and the Samsung DVD-R VCR combo.
