1) Nintendo Wii

2) HomerSapien â € "a toy robot that looks and talks like Homer Simpson

The Wii sold 519,000 units in October, with the DS comes in second with 458,000 sold.

In â € œCyber Monday, â € the Monday after Thanksgiving, consumers spent $ 733 million bargain hunting, up 21 percent from a year earlier, and some analysts expect that one day count to be increased as Christmas approaches. Wal-Mart, Best Buy Company Inc. and Amazon.com was among the main winners of the online traffic on Monday after Thanksgiving, Inc. according to statistics from research firm Internet comScore

Scott Silverman, executive director of Shop.org, said in a prepared statement, â € œon Cyber Monday, consumers recall retailers that thereâ € ™ s nothing like a good deal to motivate people to spend.â € Shop.org coined the term â € € œCyber on monday 2005, after vendors noticed a trend of people shopping online on the Monday after Thanksgiving. The site with the same name â € "â CyberMonday.com € "attracted more than 1.5 million unique visitors on Cyber Monday, five times more than last year, according to Mall Networks, which powers the site.

ComScore is predicting that, although represented Cyber Monday Online Retail € ™ s first $ 700 million day, several days this season will see performances even heavier. ComScore Senior Analyst Andrew Lipsman told InternetNews.com, â € œI think we can expect Monday [December 10] to be one of the longer days, if not € biggest.â This could be the day that e-commerce reaches the mark of U.S. $ 800 million.

Cyber Monday has become the traditional kick-off for the holiday shopping season online. Coremetrics bet that the day of commencement of sales could occur on December 4. For its part, CyberSource forecast more heavy volume Christmas shopping online will be held on December 18. Still, there are plenty of business available to Web shoppers, regardless of the rings on a day of record sales.
