People Swapping PS3s for Wiis?

An anonymous reader writes "To add to Sony's problems with the PS3 launch, it now appears that some Playstation 3 owners are trying to trade their PS3s for Wiis. The author writes: 'There's also speculation that people want the Wii because the PS3s best game is Resistance: Fall of Man. This, of course, forget that there are plenty of cool PS3 games on the way, and the PS3 has its own motion sensing technology, which, while not as good as the Wii, is still pretty cool and opens up Sony to emulate some of the Wii's successes.'"

Other way around

I'll gladly trade my lightly used Wii for a new or lightly used PS3. Any takers?

Sunday morning (Christmas Eve) about 10AM we met my Dad at Best Buy because he wanted to buy the family a DVR. After wandering around for over an hour (and buying a DVD-R instead, d'oh) we passed a table in the front of the store where a manager type was standing over some boxes. He looked at us and said "Anyone want a PS3?"

I realized he had four PS3s on the table. I said "No, thanks." and kept walking. Chuckling to my fiance about it.

I remembered that a friend of the family was looking for one, so I started a long chain of calls to get in contact with them. Her son arrived a little over an hour later to pick one up.

To see four PS3s sitting on the table.

In the front of the store.

With a guy asking everyone who passed if they wanted one.

On Christmas Eve.

This does not bode well.
