WTF Alert: SNES Outselling PS3 and 360 on Amazon.com
Amidst the usual video game champions on Amazon's Best Sellers List: Video Games, you might find something out of the ordinary. If you head south to around number 17, you'll see what I mean.
It appears that everyone's old video game flame known as the SNES is outselling Sony's Playstation 3 on Amazon.com. Wonder why? Here's my take:
* People aren't that interested in PS3s.
* Virtual Console games are giving people major cases of nostalgia.
* People are so frantic for the Wii that they'll get their hands on the closest thing.
* Someone is throwing a Mario Kart tourney and ordered a metric ton of units.
* Hell has frozen over.In all seriousness though, this probably has more to do with the fact that there are ten times as many used, yellow-tinted SNES consoles floating around, but still an interesting sight nevertheless. – Alexander Yoon
Note: The list has been updated, and the PS3 has dropped to number 20, now behind Guitar Hero II and Oblivion.
Note pt. deux: The SNES/FC Twin monster is on its way to cracking the top ten and is hot on the tails of the Xbox 360. If it gets up there, then we officially live in Upside-Down Land.
Note pt. three: Welcome to Upside-Down Land.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
SUCK IT TREBEK... ER, SONY!

This looks interesting on paper, but you also have to consider that PS3's are still outrageously overpriced. Thus people are less willing to spend the money to acquire one. Nevertheless, the more I see the downfall of the PS3 the less inclined I am to get one.
On another note, I just checked Amazon.com's Bestseller List in Video Games and found that neither the SNES or PS3 appear on the list anywhere. The Revolution and XBOX360 are within the top 15.
I still hate the Revolution...
For now.

Well, maybe this means that Silent Hill 5 will appear on the 360, and we can get ahold of it without pooling our life savings. Good times.

Man, I hope so Will...

Update: PS3's are now #8 on the Best Seller list, only 4 places behind the Revolution and beating out the XBOX360 by 11 places.
