Still works here, but here's a cut/paste..
SNES outselling PS3!
Amazon.com listings reveal shocking truth
Friday 16 February 2007
Some bright spark over at the NeoGAF forums has noticed that in Amazon.com's top 100 bestselling videogame products Super NES ranks five places higher than the 60Gb PlayStation 3 console. While we're not going to suggest that makes SNES five times better than the PS3 or anything, it does indicate in the period the chart covers more people were buying a 16-year-old toy than Sony's HD hyper console.
We can't quite put our finger on this bizarre spike in SNES sales, but it's possible that Wii's Virtual Console downloads has caused a resurgence of interest in the retro console in a new audience of gamers. Or maybe it's because the SNES is only $54.93 compared to PS3's $744.40. We'll probably never find out.
