Xmas day is a superb time for kids; they have heard the outstanding stories of Mr and Mrs Claus and Rudolph and the special day of the 25th. In the build up, young ones are on the internet and in shopping catalogues hunting high and low for the most popular video game for them to add at the top of their Xmas list. At their school and nursery the very hottest conversation is what toy they will be asking Mr Claus and if he might bring them more action figures than their peers.

Each and every Christmas period the market researchers and toy shops start making their predictions about what toy will be the number one biggest seller for that Xmas time. In past years the United Kingdom have observed the Nintendo DS and the Harry Potter Games coming in at the top.
