The annual ‘most wanted’ top ten toys for Christmas has been published and if you are a parent it is going to be very expensive. On the other hand if you are Steve Jobs you are going to be laughing like the crazed brain-washing maniac that you are (note: writer’s personal opinion may not actually represent TheSixthAxis. Or sanity).
Nearly all of the top ten ‘wants’ are electronic, a sign of how tech-savvy kids are these days. The top ten is as follows:
- iPhone 4 (14%)
- iPod touch (13%)
- iPad (12%)
- Kinect for Xbox (6%)
- Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters / Kung Zhu Hamsters (5%)
- Flip Video Camera (4%)
- Toy Story 3 Jet Pack Buzz Lightyear (4%)
- PlayStation Move (4%)
- LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 Video Game (3%)
- Barbie Video Girl (3%)
Gold, silver and bronze for Apple and a strong showing for Kinect. Playstation Move is further down the list but by Christmas will have already been in the shops for three months so many people may have purchased it already.
It’s interesting to note that Christmas stalwart LEGO only makes an appearance via a videogame. How times have changed and in case you were wondering, pictured below is a Kung Zhu Hamster in his ninja battle armour.

Wait what? What the hell would a kid do with an iPhone 4? It has a tonne of features that the kid would never use. They’d be better off with a nintendo gameboy or something >.>

Kids want iPads? If my kids asked me for that I’d tell them to get a grip on reality. If I had kids. Which I don’t. Thank God, they would interrupt my gaming.
