Yeah, still agree. I change my previous statement slightly -- I could see some of those games being hits... if the cost of entry wasn't $450+.

To take non-serious questions seriously...

I recommend investing in market funds geared towards low capital stocks and low capital value stocks. These are represented well by two Vanguard Funds -- Small-Cap Index (NAESX) and Small-Cap Value Index (VISVX). When the high inflation from the U.S. printing so much money kicks in, previous data shows those are likely to do even better than commodities like gold and copper, with even less risk (and considerably easier to buy and sell I reckon).

My guess is the Wii and DS will be the big Christmas toys yet again of 2010.
