Many scalpers bought PS3's in the hope of making huge profit on internet auction sites. However, so far this has not been the case, and many of them are returning the PS3's to the stores for a refund. This comes as somewhat of a surprise to me. Wasn't PS3 supposed to be absolutely sensational and kill all the other consoles? Is Nintendo's Wii doing so much better? But it seems that all the online oppotunists can't make a profit of more than 10 to 20 percent on their PS3's.

This is probably because the PS3 is far too expensive to scalp. Besides this another reason could be that no especially amazing games are out on it yet, and of course there's no white in the picture!
