Bratz, Barbies ... and Wii?

So much for Wii being too pricey to snag the mainstream consumer, eh? First Toys "R" Us, then CNET ... now Toy Wishes magazine lists the Wii as one of their "Hot Dozen." Nintendo's next-gen console is one of the most expensive on the list, but isn't the priciest. That honor goes to Hasbro's "Butterscotch," a life-size interactive pony that weighs in at $300. Wouldn't we have loved that back in the first grade! The list has a little something for every kid, from Barbies and Bratz dolls to a Lego robotics set. The Wii, with its innovative approach and wide range of launch titles, fits right in.
