The Wii has lots of Nintendo games and they have the most consistant ly high resale values.JJ Hendrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10255138459888881579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166264252243602432.post-73110328583069353022010-01-31T08:27:41.384-07:002010-01-31T08:27:41.384-07:00You're right, that was a typo on my part.

I meant that the resale value of video games associated with each of the consoles is consistent with each of the console's failure rates.<br /><br />With all of the shovelware made for the Wii, my guess would have been that the Wii would have the lowest resale rate per game.GamesOgrehttp://www.gamesogre.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166264252243602432.post-41833420139878215402010-01-30T10:28:31.229-07:002010-01-30T10:28:31.229-07:00I didn't read the console portion as resale va...I didn't read the console portion as resale value *OF* the console but rather the average resale price of the *GAMES* per console for the year 2009.<br /><br />While the 360 did have problems with RROD, I'm fairly certain that's not an issue with newer models. And Microsoft did replace those units up to 3 years after it was originally sold for free.justmenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166264252243602432.post-12349269743152931412010-01-27T18:36:23.510-07:002010-01-27T18:36:23.510-07:00Fascinating info!

I collect retro video games and resell what I don't keep in my collection...so this is all great info for collecting. <br /><br />I always found it interesting that soccer games are the only sports games that seems to keep their value. Little did I know that on average they actually keep their value better than RPGs!?! That's a surprise. <br /><br /> It's also interesting that the resale value of video game consoles is consistent with their failure rate. The Wii is the most reliable and has the highest resale value. Conversely, the Xbox 360 with it's RROD has the greatest failure rate of any system on the market and has the lowest resale value % of change.<br /><br />Thanks for the info JJ! Happy collecting & vintage gaming everyone.GamesOgrehttp://www.gamesogre.netnoreply@blogger.com
