Amazon.com maintains a list of the most popular, bestselling items on their website that gets refreshed on an hourly basis. At the time of the writing of this article, Nintendo dominates the top four spots with Wii Play, Wii, Nunchuck Controller, and the Wii remote respectively. Coming in at five is WoW: Burning Crusade followed by the Onyx DS at number six. The rest of the top ten list is rounded out with the Xbox 360 wireless controller, Twilight Princess and the 20gig Xbox360. Wow, number fourteen is the SNES? Hmmm...
Now at this point you're probably wondering, where is the PS3 in all this. I thought the same thing and continued to scroll through the first page got to number 25 and still no PS3. So, I moved on to the next page. Ok, there's Wind Waker, Guitar Hero 2, 360 Wireless adapter, Halo 2. Still no PS3... Finally, near the bottom of the 2nd page, underneath the Nintendo 64 at number forty-eight is the PS3.
I have to say I'm rather surprised at this, especially the popularity of the SNES. But, I at least expected PS3 to be on the first page if not in the top ten. Certainly, Amazon is not indicative of the consumer world in general and I'm sure the PS3 is doing better in the stores than say the Nintendo 64, but unfortunately, it doesn't bode well for Sony. Is the PS3 going to be able to pull up it's bootstraps and turn it's bad reputation around? I sincerely hope it can and that the PS3 will eventually become what the PS2 was and still is; one of the greatest consoles of all time.

As for hoping that PS3 can be one of the best gaming systems of all time, I don't care what system gives the best games, honestly, and I see no reason to hope that ps3 will be just as good as ps2. What's the point in that?
