A survey by Solutions Research Group found that three in four (76 per cent) of consumers want to get hold of a digital lifestyle product over the holiday season this year.

The Sony PS3 was just behind in ninth position, with seven per cent of the vote. Other gadgets that featured in the top ten were a Windows laptop, a digital camera, a GPS navigation system for the car, a digital video camera and a new cell phone.

There was also a slight difference in the way that men and women vote. For men, all three next-gen consoles featured in the top ten list, but for women only the Wii made the cut.
