What kids want for Christmas.

According to the Santa letters going in this newspaper, the 3DS (or DS in one form or another) seems to be winning by a landslide.

...I feel bad for the parents of the kid who asked for a million bucks in addition to three gaming systems and a number of other items.

Oh wow. I heard initial sales for it were quite bad. Maybe that price drop is what brought up the new incentive for people to get it.

I was one of those kids who used to ask for like a bajillion things, unfortunately, but I thus know for a fact that some of them honestly just don't *realize* that less is more. Some of them will learn eventually--I did, anyway. I come from a middle-class family, too. Pfff. I was silly.

The million dollars thing just sounds dumb to me, though, honestly. That kid can't seriously think it's that easy, can he?
