As of last Friday, PS3 owners are trading their consoles for Wiis at a considerable loss. Gigagamerz found that 48 traders were offering up their PS3s in San Francisco alone offering to trade plus the cash difference or offer to trade outright at a considerable loss.

One reasonable explanation could be that these traders simply bought multiple consoles and are now trying to get a Wii using the currency of the day, PS3s. We, however, believe that after playing Resistance: The Fall of Man a few times, these PS3 owners are longing for the image of pixelated elf characters riding on the plains of Hyrule. Either way, it doesn’t not bode well for Sony.
