PS3s Traded In For Nintendo Wiis: The Shame December 27, 2006
Yes, it's true. Some of those mad people who queued outside big
retail stores in the US for more than day for their precious Sony PS3s
are now reported to be trading them against Nintendo Wiis. Even worse,
some of them are willing to do so at a loss.
The main forum for such blasphemy seems to be craigslist.org, where
disaffected PS3 owners are sorry they ever caught pneumonia in the
first place and want to trade (up?) for a Wii. According to this
report, there were 48 PS3-for-Wii trades going on in San Francisco
alone while the story was being written.
I just ran a search now and, sure enough, the PS3 dumping is well
underway - see the search results here.
Nintendo's PR department couldn't have wished for a better
Christmas story. If you feel like sending me a Wii as a thank-you, I
won't say no, since bribery will get you everywhere.-Martin Lynch
