FROM THE ARTICLE
Again last Christmas hundreds of usually sane adults were transformed into hysterical fiends in their quest to fulfill little Johnny and Susie’s fondest wish.This time it wasn’t the Cabbage Patch Doll that forced parents to fistfights or tears, but Mattel’s Power Glove, the hottest accessory to the hottest video-game system, Nintendo.
The Power Glove, which retails for $89, debuted a mere six weeks before Christmas, selling an amazing 654,000 units before Santa’s first appearance. Overwhelming demand caused prices to rise as high as $139 per glove. The glove still won’t stay on the department-store shelf.
