What’s the worst thing that can happen to a new toy at Christmas? How about a recall? Nintendo is recalling 3.2 million straps that hold the wireless Wii remote controllers to your wrist. Of course, Wii owners have been having the problem of the straps breaking and the controllers going flying – often breaking their TVs, windows or other objects in the room. The company is replacing the .6 millimeter-thick straps with ones that are 1 millimeter thick. (We suggest metal chains.) The Wii has outsold Playstation3 by more than a 2-1 margin, in part because of the PS3 shortage.
