14 DAY TRIAL // Amazon is well known for holding a top 10 console chart that gets refreshed every other hour which makes it sound like the best place to get some information about a certain system and make an opinion on what to choose from the gaming market. Thing is, if you scroll on the two pages filled with nothing but consoles from all generations, which Nintendo proudly and undoubtedly dominates, you're likely to miss the PS3's name. That's only because it's listed at the end of the second page, even after the Nintendo 64 system, meaning that demand for Sony's machine is at the worst point since its launch. But is this true?
Logically, if we are to take into consideration that older games are making "sort of a come back," we may be fooled into believing that the chart is accurate and that the PS3's name is where it belongs, but the truth is that Nintendo's SNES and just maybe the 64 are some of the few filling up that list and the world isn't exactly screaming "give us old games and old consoles," if you catch my drift. So what is Amazon's chart really telling us?
Amazon's service falls short of dealing with issues that go beyond the basic help topics on its website, thus the only option a customer has is a feedback form which the official site promises to respond to. There is practically no way to reach the customer service via the website for problems other than the listed ones. So practically, Amazon keeps track of hour-to-hour facts which obviously make them miss the big picture. The PS3 doesn't stand that good, I'll give'em that, but it doesn't belong somewhere under the 64 or the SNES and certainly not that far for that matter. Not with a 3.2 GHz Cell processor, firmware update ability and an NVIDIA G70 graphics card, anyway.
