Here's somethings I was told at a few local stores about the PS3 (after I returned mine thank goodness!)

 

 Gamestop, from the manager, really nice person (unlike most GS/Ebgames managers)

"I'm lucky to sell a PS3 game every week or two" 

"They just sit in the back collecting dust"

Said it does cost a lot, he replied "Well for what your getting not really, its expensive for most people, and there isn't any big hits out there for it" 

I asked about 360 sales "There pretty steady, good amount are sold each week"

 Regarding the Wii "We only get 10 consoles a month now, Nintendo is holding the supply back"

 

Circuit City, local one

 

Asked about PS3 sales "There hasn't been one sold in over a month"

Pretty much heard the samething at mine.

Asked him about Wii..."Be lucky to find one by next year at the rate it is going"

Asked him about 360..."Definitly selling nicely, Has the most games also which sell"

Asked him about PS3..."Pretty much dead...We haven't moved one in about a week and the games. VF5 sold a few copies"

Finally, a higher up, really in the know company employee tells us how it is with the ps3... finally... no way I'm buying one now that the manager at Gamestop (a place at which 99% of the employees seem to think there cooler than you ... even though they make 5.15 and hour selling video games) says it's not worth the 500~600 it costs... finally.
