Amazon has the busiest Christmas ever

Shares of on-line US retailer Amazon.com rose more than two percent on Wednesday after it said the 2007 Christmas season was its strongest since it opened in 1994.

On 10 December, its busiest day during the current season, Amazon said shoppers ordered more than 5.4 million items, or 62.5 items per second. By comparison, the busiest day of the festive season in 2006 was 11 December, when customers ordered more than four million items, according to its website.

This year, top sellers included toys such as the Jakks EyeClops Bionic Eye, video games including Nintendo’s Wii video game systems and Super Mario Galaxy, and consumer electronics products such as the Garmin GPS and Samsung LCD high-definition TVs.

Other popular items, based on items ordered between 15 November and 19 December, ranged from Black & Decker’s auto wrench to Kenneth Cole Reaction men’s wool pea coat. The company also said it sold about 17 Nintendo Wii systems per second when they had them in stock.
