This is an article from this week’s MCV magazine, the trade circulation for the Home Computing and Video Games Industry…
“SEARCH engine Lycos has revealed that all the major consoles are amongst this year’s most searched for ‘toys’ on the Internet. The PS2 took the top spot, followed by Xbox at two. Barbie and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards took third and fourth places, respectively, with GameCube placed at five. The Game Boy Advance made an appearance lower down the listing at 12, beaten by popular kids’ brands Transformers and Hello Kitty.”
So you see, Transformers was one of the top ten most searched for toys on Lycos this year, our popularity is assured folks!
’til all are one!
