I don't think amazon is very reflective of a country at large. I suppose I could be wrong.

You're completely right.  The PS3 is outselling the 360 and Wii on Amazon UK.  Amazon isn't a clear indication of what's going on.

I have never seen a Wii on a shelf in a store, the only Wii I've ever seen is my friends.

But yes, there is an abundance of 360s in my town.

:lol: @ Amazon, thats just Amazon for crying out loud. I live in Canada and I see more 360's on the shelves then I do PS3's, sorry but at least the PS3 selling in this country, and the Wii is sold out everywhere, you cant find a single store that will have one in stock for more then 2 hours before they are all gone.

Youre perfectly spot on, Amazon sales are very volatile.

Xbox 360 is selling horribly in my city.  Xbox and Xbox 360 both own up 3 slots in Wal Mart.  Nintendo and Sony equally get 4 each, which both includes gamecube, ds, wii, gba.  Sony is PS2, PS3, and PSP. 

(You can only get games at Wal Mart, it's how small our city is)

Yep, those are the numbers, PS3 is selling horrible in Canada.

Microsoft has done a great job at keeping 360's in stores stocked, I just seen a halfpicked pallet at Costco today.  Funny thing, the PS3 pallet I seen 2 weeks ago has hardly been touched.

Your not. Amazon is not reflective of the country.

It might be reflective...to a degree.  Amazon is very reflective of the individuals who shop online and the bestsellers are updated hourly.  Amazon is one of the top sites for online sales.  BTW...Wii, of course, is still # 1...PS3 is at the # 33 seller right now.  PS3 was like # 20 just a week ago.  Halo 3 Legendary Edition is at # 3.

In the latest episode of purepwnage, they praise the 360 and put down the PS3. And those guys are Canadian.
