The inclusion of the iPad demonstrates the flaw in most surveys like this ... Essentially, what a kid wants and what they get are often two very different things. While parents may be willing to spend more on a home console (because it can be shared by everyone), spending $500 for 1 gift for 1 child is far beyond what most parents would be willing to spend.
