They're far more available now than a few months ago, although the Wii has stayed in short supply. The PS3 market is down primarily because the surge of demand--and excessive price gouging--after the launch has also died due to greater supply. The only systems that should sell now are the ones with good premiums; i.e. extra controllers, games, et al.

We need more people gaming! It's not about system vs. system for me anymore. I'm sorry for that by the way. I'm devoted to preserving gaming as an art and form of KICK ARSE EXPRESSIONISM. No, I'm not a tree hugger...in fact...i'm gonna go shoot a tree right now!

But we really need to put down our 10 point power swords and lay off the manna.

I WILL get flamed for this, but...GAMERS UNITE!!!

Cocaine's a hell of a drug, man. You've gotta quit that stuff.

Didnt read, all I can say is NO F*cking Sh*t

I thought that the interesting part of the article was the average sales price. Who would have thought that 5 months after launch the PS3 would be selling for retail price, while the Wii is still fetching a $100 premium? I certainly thought it would be the other way around.

PS3 has been selling at or below cost since just after Christmas, really. 360 maintained inflated eBay prices until... er, March, oddly enough. Even into the opening of April in some cases. Wii too looks like it'll finally get down to selling price around April's opening, just like 360. It's nearly eerie in similarity. Only Wii's sold several times more units in this period.

And yes, it's a no-brainer that sales slow down after Christmas, and even moreso after the Jan-Feb season when post-Christmas dealmaking abounds.

I only use e-bay to buy faceplates.
Games
and cheap asseccories for my 360.

man... so many skins and plates.

But yeah.. Wii should go back to the shelves..
I'm buying one for my GF

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood16h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.
