Nintendo Gaming / PS3 being traded for Wii's

PS3s Being Traded For Wiis
By Jason McMaster |

So, first people camp out in front of Best Buys for days at a time to get the PS3, and then they trade them for Nintendo Wiis. Seriously. Tony Conrad, CEO and Founder of Sphere, pointed this out to us and we had to see it to believe it. There are people out there trying to trade their PS3s for Nintendo Wiis and some of them are offering to take a loss. In order to check out exactly how widespread this phenomenon is, I had to venture into the dangerous, uncharted waters of craigslist.org and start doing a little searching of my own.

We decided upon looking in some of the hottest cities on craigslist: Austin, New York and San Francisco. In my search of Austin, I only turned up 6 total people who wanted to trade their PS3 for a Wii, so I moved on to New York City, which boasted a pretty substantial 18 desired trades. Here’s where it gets crazy: in San Francisco, there are 48 different PS3 for Wii trades going on at this moment. Now, keep in mind, most of these trades are requesting a Wii plus cash difference, but there is the occasional barter that will take a loss just to get their hands on the latest Nintendo console.

Why would these people want to trade their hard-earned PS3 for a Nintendo Wii, since the Wii’s distribution dwarfs that of the PS3? Most of the people who camped out for a Nintendo Wii did so for maybe 4 hours. While the PS3 lines were plagued with greedy eBayers and shootings, the Wii lines around where I live were full of people drinking cocoa and taking turns playing DS games. There are a few possible answers.

First, it’s possible that the people trading for the Wii are the ones who managed to grab a couple of PS3s during a restock and can’t move them for as much as they’d like on eBay. Being a completist, I can understand this mentality, because I want every console in every generation. What better use of a second PS3 than getting a Wii plus a little cash?

Another scenario could be that they’re trading the PS3s, which are dropping in price on eBay, for the Wii to try and flip it right before the holidays. This theory is given credit by a few traders looking for 2 Wiis for a 60 GB PS3. That would definitely be a profit gain situation.

Finally, it could just be people who got the PS3 and have been terribly disappointed in the software line-up. The only game that seems to be doing relatively well in the ratings is Resistance: Fall of Man, and that’s not really enough to carry a $500-$600 system. I would love to confirm these thoughts, but all of the people I’ve tried to contact to ask why they’re selling their systems either declined to comment or didn’t have time.

No matter what it turns out to be, I would have never pictured this scenario. Sony has or, depending on who you talk to, had very powerful name recognition. It’s impossible to call a winner this early in the console war, but this time it’s going to be a much closer race.

I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you there. There is no badge of honor, it's more like Nintendo is the fat kid on a school yard who didn't get picked to play kickball. GTA or any other majorly popular game, regardless of content, that comes to your system is a blessing. Like Majora states above, there is a significant chain of events that occur as a result of bringing on a GTA game.

It is elitist BS like this statement that keeps the Nintendo fanboy image in people's minds. Our system is not "too good" for a GTA game, that is flat out arrogance.

i dont see it like that,i see it more like GTA playing kids want to be so "cool" that they need need  to feel they are doing some "bad stuff" to belong to this little low grade bunch in school.

As long as developers can continuously make fun games, the Wii will continue to keep it's popularity. At the very least, Nintendo always has its big fans to fall back on ... and the DS.

whos more retarded? the retarded or the retarded that follows him?

Only if you are comparing it to the XBox 360 and PS3 version. Personally, I think COD3 looks damn nice on the Wii.

that and only that its my point exactly,COD 3 looks like crap compared to the ps3 and 360.thanks for bringing it.

« on: December 20, 2006, 05:28:11 AM »

ok read this,
its not about beingthe less powerfull system,in history think......all ofthe less powerfull systemthat won where released a year or more ahead,
Nes vs master system
sega genesis vs super ness(but some records shows that in the americas the snes won by a small margin)
ps1 vs n64
ps2 vs GC,xbox.
DS vs psp

that time gives the oportunity to build a huge user base for the less system,but this time the less system does not have a year ahead,its comopeting head to head against the more powerful systems.

believe me that some kids may want to take on the more powerfull systems,so as adults that likes "technology"

regardless of what some here say,graphics sells systems.

and i think nintendo should have boost the wii's power just a little more.because for me its way underpowered compared to the competition,as i said on my first statement,the wii compares the ps3 and 360,as a n64 compares to a ps2.

Nintendo Gaming / Wii analysis in this next gen war.

« on: December 19, 2006, 03:38:04 PM »

I will make this short.

in the last gen wars the clear winner was the ps2,regardless of its "inferior" hardware,as always its all about the games.the xbox and gamecube went head to head for an almost tie,with the xbox winning by a small margin.so the 2 "superior machines" loss.

but here is a fact.when you compare the ps2 to GC or xbox the diference its notable but not outstanding.examples.soul calibur 2,the splinter cell series,metal gear solid series and so on,thats because the technical specs from each console are not too separate,xbox 700 processor 64 ram,GC 485 processor 24 ram,ps2 300 processor 32 ram.

to the point.
in this next gen wars we see that nintendo took the gameplay over graphics aproach,but i think the wii specs are too weak compared to the competition.that means that we can see a good game play well on the xbox and the ps2,but not potentially on the ps3 or 360 to play on wii,examples far cry,call of duty.this games look way too crappy on the wii,and this is just the beggining,as well as the wii development improves so the ps3 and 360's.

the point i see is that maybe third parties would dump wii in the long run for the "more powerfull machines".

i think if nintendo at least got a 1ghz processor and 256 ram,that would do as a last gen ps2 compared to the competition,the way i see is that the wii stand as a nintendo 64 compared to a ps2 and xbox.

by the way this is not a nintendo bashing thread,im a nintendo fan since i can remember.

later dudes.
