Women Prefer Wii, Men Prefer PlayStation 3

wii_women.jpgI just pulled down a report claiming that 76% of you have at least one "digital lifestyle" product on your wish lists this holiday season. That's according to a national survey (links to PDF) of 1,200 American consumers by Solutions Research Group, which breaks the list into top 10 items for men, women, and an overall combination of the two.

Surprisingly, the PlayStation 3 beat both the Xbox 360 and Wii on the men's top 10 list, pulling in 10% of respondents and slotting #6 on the list (the Xbox 360 and Wii garnered 8% in 9th and 10th place respectively).

Also surprising, the Wii ranked 8th on the women's top 10 list, receiving 9% of the vote and beating either a new Apple laptop or TiVo.

The Apple iPhone didn't make the top 10, ranking #15 overall. Laptops were preferred over desktops 2-to-1 in the 18-34 age group, and all three game systems were on 18-34 lists, with the Wii (#8) beating the PS3 (#9) and Xbox 360 (#12).

So how about our own non-scientific poll?
