Looking for a Wii

I’m frantically searching for a Wii for my… Ok, it’s for me. I really NEED to play Zelda. Apparently I’m not the only one. It seems there is a small set of people who are trying to trade their PS3s for a Wii.

XBox 360 Leads, Wii and PS3 Far Behind

In sales, it appears that XBox 360 will sell 10M units+ by years end. Compare that to 4M Wiis and 2M PS3s. Now remember, Wiis and XBox 360s are profitable sales and PS3s are not.
For those scoring at home, this means (assuming all of those units ship and sell), the world’s next […]

eBay Says Average Cost of PS3 is $1K+

People are working hard (or hardly working) to get their hands on the PS3. Folks are paying, on average, more than $1K to take home the shiny black console.
The Wii and XBox 360 are getting some love as well on eBay, but the PS3 is certainly the darling of the auction site at […]

Launch Recap

The Wii sold roughly 650K units at launch, compared with about half that number of PS3s. However, with the PS3 losing money with each sale, Sony is probably content with that number.
