Fanboys will have a field day with Amazon's public Top 25 video game sales list, which is completely overrun by Nintendo products. Among the usual suspects from the Wii camp is one strange surprise -- the SUPER NINTENDO is outselling the Playstation 2 and 3. Wow.
Any crackpot theories on this? The only one I can offer is that people are getting sick of waiting for the Virtual Console's uber-slow rollout schedule and have taken matters into their own hands. Either that or they just found out that the SNES can actually be modded to play Gears of War, as demonstrated in this secret video.
- Wii Play
- The Wii (Shocker!)
- The Wiimote
- The Wii Nunchuck
- Nintendo DS Lite Black/Onyx
- Burning Crusade
- Gears of War
- Nintendo DS Lite Cracka Edition
- Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
- Xbox 360 Premium Bundle
- Microsoft Flight Simulator X

This is by no means a benchmark of doom so you won't see Phil Harrison hanging from gallows, but it is a notable and humorous day in number-crunching nonetheless. Oh Sony, I'm not sure at what point it became cool to laugh at your expense but we're hoping you pull a Count of Monte Cristo at GDC. (Read: hand over the Killzone screenshots already)

PS3 and 360 and Wii will come and go, but SNES is simple, and it is simply awesome - it'll be around forever, might as well open the flood gates.
Nope, it stays like this forever, regardless of how many of each item gets sold.
Companies are still making NES/SNES clones today, I wish carts were in larger production :(
Care to get rid of one of those SNES systems my good friend?
Holy monte cristo, batman!
And OOT is at #67, with SMW above that. From the weather, and this development, I think hell has frozen over.
IT DOESN'T EVEN FUCKING PLAY BLU-RAY
Um, the PS3 is too expensive? Just a shot in the dark there.
Also, I think the massive buzz attached to the Wii is driving some serious Nintendo resurgence, windwaker and all that, lots of people who didn't have cubes, now have Wii's and they are looking for games to play now that they are done with TP.
SHUT UP!
So did EB Games.
Also, it is the only console that can't play Gears of War...
I'm so confused now. What kind of God would create something that sucks so bad? Can I get into heaven by not buying one?
