So the PS2 sold 94 Million consoles in the last 5 years? That doesn't seem right.

This is an odd generation because the Wii basically started there. Things will get really odd about the time the 360 and PS3 hit $199. |

I would imagine the sales would be even higher if they would allow the Wii to play DVDs without having to get a mod chip.

[/ QUOTE ] not sure how u reached that conclusion every wii shipped = a wii sold right now it is a supply problem, not a demand problem once they no longer sell out and nintendo's warehouses start filling up with extra wiis, then you can begin talking about how they could sell more personally, i don't see how lack of dvd player would be a deal-breaker for 99% of potential buyers |

Is ebay the appropriate place to try to sell a Wii? Lately it seems like it's become a haven for scammers, and if I don't want to deal with Paypal, is there another option for receiving payment on Ebay?
I've got a first gen Wii that I bought around launch and I just haven't gotten into, and I'm trying to figure out where to sell it. It's obviously not NIB, so I take a loss there, but whatever. Is craigslist a viable option? |

Also the ads are Wii + 15 games, when it's actually Wii sports and such. Just make sure you know what you're getting, but from what I saw you can sometimes snag up a deal on someone who bought it, but the novelty wore off so they're selling it for cheaper. They go fast, so you have to keep checking really frequently so you're first on the seller's list. |
