Los pasillos de los juguetes en las grandes tiendas ser\u00e1n tranquilos este a\u00f1o. As\u00ed lo vaticinan los expertos en los EEUU, seg\u00fan recoge Forbes. \u00abSe esperan las peores ventas en m\u00e1s de 30 a\u00f1os. Es el peor momento para los fabricantes de juguetes\u00bb, se\u00f1ala Gerrick Johnson, analista de BMO Capital Markets. <\/p>\n
En 2011, las ventas minoristas de juguetes en los Estados Unidos generaron US$ 21.200 millones, un 2% menos que el a\u00f1o anterior (US$ 21.700 millones), seg\u00fan la firma de investigaci\u00f3n NPD Group. Pero este a\u00f1o, se prev\u00e9 un descenso del 3,5% en las ventas. <\/p>\n
Los ni\u00f1os de hoy no ya no est\u00e1n interesados en los juguetes, ya que simplemente son \u00ababurridos para ellos\u00bb, coinciden los analistas. Ahora al momento de escribir la carta a Santa, los ni\u00f1os piden desde un videojuego hasta un iPad. <\/p>\n
Los grandes del sector apuestan a los cl\u00e1sicos que fueron \u00e9xitos. Es el caso de Hasbro, que esta temporada navide\u00f1a relanz\u00f3 Furby, la mascota electr\u00f3nica que gener\u00f3 un frenes\u00ed de ventas en todo el mundo en 1998. No es la primera vez que invierte en lo retro. En 2010 y 2003, coloc\u00f3 en las g\u00f3ndolas Mi peque\u00f1o Pony, que debut\u00f3 en 1983.<\/p>\n
Retro toys are hot this holiday season<\/strong> Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles make multiple appearances on the Toy Industry Association\u2019s list, nominated in the categories of top toy for boys and most successful brand growth for the year.<\/p>\n Experts say there are a few reasons why these blasts from the past are suddenly hot again. Retro toys \u201ctend to be more popular in times of economic difficulty,\u201d said Gerrick Johnson, equity research analyst at BMO Capital Markets. \u201cOn both the supply and demand side, they\u2019re safe,\u201d he said. \u201cYou know it worked for one generation of kids.\u201d<\/p>\n Parents with tight holiday shopping budgets might gravitate toward toys they remember enjoying a generation earlier. \u201dThis year\u2019s top toys… have some staying power, meaning children won\u2019t get bored with them within a few weeks,\u201d NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said in a statement.<\/p>\n Toys typically resurface in 20- to 25-year cycles, Johnson said. Companies calculate that adults who see familiar characters or games on store shelves will be in the right age range to have kids that can discover them for the first time.

\n\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that shelf recognition helps,\u201d said Russ Crupnick, senior vice president of industry analysis for the NPD Group. \u201cIt\u2019s equally a familiarity factor.\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
