Some of you will ignore all logic just so you can bash Sony and the PlayStation brand.

You are all pathetic.

Sony fanboys who think, "Meh meh meh, it doesn't count because it's not in stock at amazon and being priced $50 over retail!"

NB: Wii is not in stock either and also priced over retail by $140 and STILL is #4. Let's not even go into how much of a percent increase that is.

wii = #3
ps3 = #81

LMFAO.

Plus, they are a major purchase, and alot of people prefer to buy expensive electronics from a brick and mortar in case the have problems.

SNES's are though, much harder to find locally. You cant stroll into wal-mart or best buy and buy one.

Here's my take:

* People aren't that interested in PS3s.

Right. And the fact that prices start at $150 above retail has nothing to do with the low sales at Amazon.

I have a great idea:
Let's compare sales of the OS X systems versus Vista systems at Dell Computer's web site. What? OS X isn't even on the list? Wow, Apple must be in real trouble.

"29 used & new available from $744.40"

Not a very useful comparison to a $50 console the stores don't have anymore and the 360 which is available at retail cost with free shipping.

Actually, I'm kinda tempted myself...

11. 360
18. SuperNES
52. PS3

This was the biggest WTF I've seen yet...

THE FACT THAT THE PS3 MADE 54TH PLACE AT 150$ OVER RETAIL PRICE (whilst available in stores) JUST SHOWS THERE ARE STILL MORONS IN THIS WORLD DUMB ENOUGH TO BUY, nothing more nothing less.

I really get annoyed by people looking at this list and drawing the wrong conclusions...

club662

That's pretty embarrassing, although I think it really is very relevant that they are only available through resellers, for no less than $159 above list price, when they're not even hard to find in stores.

One's at least $50 and one's at least $750?

Why would someone buy a PS3 off Amazon for at least $750, when they can get for $500/$600 at retail stores or $430/$530 on Ebay?

Karttikeya

People are getting rid of their SNES and not of their PS3. That's it. That's all.

"These lists, updated hourly, contain bestselling, non-accessory items."

If there's a disclaimer somewhere that contradicts that, I'm not seeing it.

t.a.m.s.y.

The Wii isn't even sold by Amazon - it's currently sold out. However, it still stands in the top 5. Actually, most of the items on the list are sold by 3rd party, ps3 included. They just cant seem to hold enough inventory for anything Nintendo related.

arkisman

I mean, do any of you honestly think Amazon has SUPER NINTENDO Systems in stock, now, or *ever* for that matter?

The issue at hand here is simply that the PS3 is only being offered by third party buyers at a significant increase over the MSRP.

Still, even with that in mind, just looking at this list gives an idea of how truly popular Nintendo goods are right now. 7 of the top 10 items are (mostly) *out of stock* Nintendo goods.

Eru

Those reseller ranking is based on the amount hits to the product, reviews and how many go through the resellers, its not really based on sales. Also, Amazon is based on a small sample size. This means nothing, Gizomdo is just making a fuss so that can get eyeballs from Digg. Pathetic.

Honestly, I still can't understand why anyone would be surprised to see an unusual item at a reasonable price beating out PS3s marked above MSRP from sources less than reputable... They just aren't rare enough to support that. No "WTF" about it.

Gizmodo doesn't make the news, it just reports them.

I was aware of the fact that it isn't sold directly though amazon.com--just third party retailers, but the SNES is in the same boat. It's just interesting to see that more people are swapping around SNES consoles than PS3s.

Just thought it might be interesting

yoooooon

Not even here in the UK yet. Sony thought the PS3 was going to be so *Great* they could just keep delaying it for everybody. But, nope, they had to go the extra mile and delay the european launch until the next year!

Still got just over a month here in the UK before it comes out and it's more expensive than the american price.

Sony are a great company, but the PS3 has killed their reputation IMO, for gaming consoles. They still do good Tv's!

That means the lowest price available through Amazon.com is the Used and New price listed below it. The cheapest PS3 is listed at $739. That's a $140 premium you're paying for a console that is supposedly readily available at GameStop, EB, Target, Best Buy, etc. at list price.

Why would you be buying it online from a random sketchy 3rd party if you can just walk up the street and get one?

Clearly there is more demand for Wii than the PS3 at the moment but there are perfectly valid reasons why on this particular list the PS3 would be at the place it is.
