LeapFrog Enterprises Inc. has made hit toys by creating kiddie versions of adult gadgets like Apple Inc.’s iPad. Now it’s trying to do the same thing with video-game consoles.
Following the success of its LeapPad, a kid-focused tablet that’s been one of the best-selling toys since its 2011 debut, the company is riffing on Nintendo Co.’s Wii with a video-gaming system equipped with motion sensors called LeapTV. The console is aimed at children ages 3 to 8 and will hit stores this holiday-shopping season at $150, according to a statement from the Emeryville, California-based company.
