Christmas for ‘u’ and ‘i’: Kids want iPads, iPods, iPhones … and a Wii U

Wondering what to get that kid on your Christmas list? Wonder no more — the answer is easy. But warm up the credit cards — it is going to put a massive dent in your finances.

According to a new poll by Nielsen, kids just want iDevices … and a Wii U. Half want an iPad, and roughly a third of all kids also want an iPod Touch, iPad Mini, or an iPhone under the tree. Almost 40 percent also want a new Nintendo Wii U, and 31 percent want a Kinect for the Xbox 360 they got last year.
