Consumers are not yet fully focused on Holiday shopping, however predictions are already being made on which will be the best selling toys and games this year. Like in previous years, popular cartoons and action characters will have great influence on toy sales; toys and merchandise related to heroes like Batman and cartoons like Monster High will be in high demand.

The web is flooded with news articles and Christmas toy lists, all with the intent of persuading customers on this year's best toys for their children. A number of these articles have already predicted that high-tech electronic flying toys, some of which can speak and can be controlled using smartphone applications, will receive more attention from retailers and parents. Retailers agree that children have shown an increased taste for tech-toys and digital games. Many companies have started creating kid friendly tablets, such as international toy retailer Toys R Us who recently launched its own tablet for kids called the Tabeo.

Even though high-tech toys have become more popular amongst children, it's still parents who make the purchasing decisions. Many parents prefer to buy educational, wooden and other classic toys. Research the market to find out which niche has the best potential this year, by analyzing the relationship between demand and competition (demand / competition). The higher the predicted ratio, the better.
