Nintendo Wii & DS Dominate Holiday Searches

Published by John Phillips December 8th, 2007 in Gaming, Nintendo, DS/DS Lite, Wii.

Wii and DS holiday search results When it comes to November product searches in the UK, Wii and DS were far ahead of the pack.

In a recent analysis of the Shopping and Classifieds category of Hitwise, Nintendo Wii took up a full 0.19% of searches. Nintendo’s handheld DS took the two slot with 0.07%.

According to Hitwise, the Wii accounts for a whopping 6 out of every 10 searches for a gaming console. To get a feel for just how popular Nintendo products are at the moment, the two combined actually outpaced searches for Apple products combined. However, there were large increases in people looking online for both the iPod and the iPhone, so Apple’s got little to worry about.

Sadly, these statistics are not particularly useful for those who are still looking to purchase a Wii — there’s still a massive shortage in the UK with no signs of letting up.

The Hitwise Top 10 product searches for November were as follows:

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

We're going to be adding a few more talented writers to the Portable Planet menagerie within the next few months.

Also, we haven't forgotten about the layout change; we have an unconfirmed fear that our designer is trapped in an oubliette somewhere between the border of Paraguay and Bolivia. Either that, or he's lazy.
