Will PS3 eventually pass 360?

During the cart generations Nintendo was heavy into refurbishment. For both their first and second consoles. The succeeding generations did not produce the volume. Nor did they have a stockpile needing to be put through clearance. However at the tenth year when their were something close to under a hundred thousand units in remainder. You could indeed find Nintendo consoles in the toy section jammed full of cart games for under a hundred dollars. Basically Nintendo was doing everything to get rid of the hardware, and the software.

I can understand why you did not see these packages firstly you need to be thinking small chains, and severe discounters. Large chains had long since cleared out their stock, and were not interested in acquiring new stock of a console eight or nine years old. Smaller chains and heavy discounters however thrive on its old, but is still good. Secondly they were not to be found near the newer consoles in fact you were lucky to find them in the electronics section. You know where I always saw them right under the pegs for hand held games like video poker.

I actually considered buying one of these SNES packages five years ago when I saw one in a small store for fifty dollars it was vacuum sealed in hard plastic, and came with eight games sealed in with the package. All of this for fifty dollars. I thought it might make a good gift for a cousin. I still had an SNES collecting dust at the time, but the games offered were not all that inspired as far as I was concerned. So I just gave him my old console with the old games.
