Amazon Japan decided to hold its own Cyber Monday sale a few weeks after the North American counterpart. Through the campaign and sales data, they have announced the 20 most wanted Christmas presents in Japan. Clinching the top spot was none other than Sony’s PlayStation 4 which while not the dazzling success that it has been outside Japan has seen strong sales numbers since launch.
But what else do the people of Japan really want this Christmas? Check out the rest of the list below!
Most of the Top 20 list was in fact dominated by electronic products. Out of the 20, six were game consoles and three were Apple products. Let’s see what kind of trinkets people are hoping to find in their stockings this year!
- #2: Nintendo 3DS
- #3: iPad
Apple’s iPad came in third place, taking the top spot among all tablets. In particular, the lightweight iPad Air is said to be extremely popular among customers.
- #4: Beats by Dr. Dre
- #5 Youkai Watch…watch!
The first children’s toy on the list, the next most wanted item was the watch from popular cartoon series Youkai Watch, a series which has seen a huge boom in popularity among Japanese kids over the last year. The pricey product has even inspired some to DIY their own versions of the watch. However, it seems like many lucky children will be getting what they want this Christmas.

It may have had a painfully slow start, but Nintendo’s Wii U is getting a lot of love in Japan now that titles like Smash Bros and Mario Kart are finally in our sweaty palms.
- #7: Macbook Air
- #8: PlayStation Vita
