PS3 Slim, Accessories, Uncharted 2 Hit Amazon's Top Seller List
Uncharted 2: Among ThievesThere was a time when you would glance at the top-selling video game list at Amazon and rarely find anything related to the PlayStation 3. That was over two years ago, though, and things have changed.
It's interesting to look at the Bestsellers in Video Games Amazon list now, which plainly features a strong showing on Sony's part. Halo 3: ODST unsurprisingly holds the top spot as it just released, and the legions of franchise fans have quickly responded. That was expected, but what's interesting is that the PS3 Slim - even after nearly one month on the market - remains high at #3 (while the Xbox 360 labors down at #21), while the Dual Shock 3 controller sits pretty at #2. Furthermore, impending blockbuster Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is in at #4 and even the Blu-Ray remote manages to crack into the top 15. Oddly enough, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is down at #10, but that's likely because the majority of fans have already placed their pre-order a while ago. Sony claiming three of the top five spots is a definite accomplishment, though, and it's worth noting if one has a good memory and can remember the dark days of the PS3's early existence. The God of War Collection is in the top 20, too, and you can expect that to rise as the weeks roll by; many people will want to play that GoWIII demo.
Sony needs to maintain this momentum through the holiday season; they snagged it with the price drop and introduction of the new Slim model...now they just gotta hang on to it.

Although I am disappointed at the motion controller. They better come up with a nunchuk-like add-on with the wand, because holding the dualshock with one hand hurts the wrist. (You should give it a try, its really uncomfortable)

Sony is a leader, doesn't conform to whatever's out there. They did this with ps1, same with ps2.
They knew they had to go BEYOND the standard. (the original xbox tried to COPY the ps2 a year later, but copying doesn't hurt Sony).
^Very important points
By the way, the level of variety Sony offers in its software (AAA games) is the number 1 reason I stick by them.
Platformers like Littlebigplanet, Ratchet and Clank, and the dear Jak series are some great examples.
Then you got flower, Last Guardian
That's how it is, that's how it is

the story is based on halo 3 but your playing as a different character.
a Orbital drop shock trooper hence the name ODST.
i would suggest renting it before buying it, the SP is only 6 hours long if that, and the MP is exactly the same as halo 3 but with a few extra maps.
its no where near worth the 60 bucks.

Not being a Halo 3 fan or owner, I am not enticed by ODST at all. Some may say that I shouldn't comment beacuse I don't own Halo3, fine. But, I do question the value of taking what was to be DLC, and inflating it a little so it can be released as a full game.

because 1 i seriously cant see the head rip getting passed.
2 i hope they extend it slightly im dying to find out what happens when kratos lunges himself at that titan.
i thought kratos and the titans are working together and helping each other, so why is he attacking him?

2 - Full game is in march 2010
Last point that you didn't number - Crap always happens to Kratos and he rarely keeps a friend for more than two minutes.

People mainly buy controllers when they buy a new console. The other big reason is because their original got worn out. So either people are playing the crap out of their PS3's and wearing their controllers out or their is a ton of people buying a new one. (I know, stating the obvious)
