Wii - Top of Electronics for Christmas

Nintendo have yet again exceeded themselves; this time beating electronics giants of all names to the top spot for the 2006 festive season. Nintendo have surpassed brands such as Apple and Philips for its place in the number 1 spot in the list of the 'Top Ten Hottest Electrical Items' at two giant UK retailers; namely Comet and PC World.

A noticeable absence from the list is Microsoft's Xbox 360, perhaps a worrying sign for Microsoft in the UK. Nintendo have already confirmed there will be plenty of units at launch, where the highly anticipated console will be released at £179.99 alongside Wii Sports.
