Consumer Reports magazine does NOT recommend buying #3 on that list.

They say Microsofts laptops are not reliable and are the highest in needing repairs/services.

Seems like there wasn't any competition. Pretty good year for technology.

The Switch is what the Wii U should have been.

I don't even think the hardware was ready in 2012, if it was it would have been a pretty expensive console.

Well, going by the other choices in the top 10 .... doesn't really seem like there was much competition. Everything else in the top 10 looks like fairly repetitive devices.

You're telling me the 182th Nintendo console with same old Mario and Zelda games isn't repetitive?!

I wouldn't exactly say same... :p

Anyway go Switch, you just get more and more good news don't you.

Did the PS4, 3DS and XB1 made it in the list in their year?
