The PS3 likely won't outsell the Wii or Xbox 360 this holiday, but thanks to a new price and new ad campaign things are moving in the right direction. GameDaily speaks with Scott Steinberg, SCEA's VP of Product Marketing, about the latest strategy.
The Nerd Stash: “The PS3 marked a turning point in the industry, and among the sea of popular titles came the rare games that are worth more now than ever.”
I don’t collect games for their value I collect games I enjoyed playing. Many games I own are worth a lot of money but they must be games I want to play for me to purposely collect them. Most of this list isn’t games I would enjoy. I may have some of these games because I bought my friends PS2/3 Collection years ago and I never actually looked what was in it. It was a couple hundred games though still sitting in a box and I’m sure there are some good valuable games. I should go sift through it sometime.
I tend to agree for the most part rarity is linked to price
It's unusual that a rare game was popular with a few notable exceptions. Games released at the tail end of a consoles lifecycle which became popular years or decades later like little Samson on the NES or earthbound on SNES.
Or games that were banned after release in certain regions
Looking at this list there's nothing I'd be trying to collect either most of these games were fairly unpopular and bashed on their release leading to the scarcity seen now.
Especially NBA elite which I remember actually watching the news about how it got cancelled but had already shipped to retail it was so bad .
Was unaware that Verdict Day was rare, glad I still own my copy. Game is very good.
She forgot to mention Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Wizard's Edition with Ninostarter bonuses. This is the second or third most expensive PS3 game, and I own a sealed copy.

“As a reimagining of a classic 2D platformer, Rocket Knight remains one of my favourite modern examples of the genre so let's see why.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
With over 5144 games on the PS3, it is easy to miss out on some great games. Here are some of the best unknown games on the PS3.
I remember Stranglehold! One of the first DLC packs of its time. A bit expensive, but cheap by today’s standards.
Another PS3 hidden gems list, and yet again Time Crisis 4 and Time Crisis Razin' Storm get snubbed. Such fun games, that shouldn't be forgotten. If only we got a home port of Time Crisis 5: Mastermind Edition.
WET is something I wish they'd remake, they had so many great ideas but not all of them were executed properly
It had a lot of potential
Also Wanted Weapons of Fate is another game that had some new fun gameplay ideas.
Ps3 won't outsell the xbox 360? Well, it sure did a good job of it last month and just this week... 500,000 units sold just this week, as opposed to xbox 360's 480,000 Then add last months sales of the Ps3 at almost 700,000 please.. Ps3 has a good chance of beating the xbox 360 in sales this holiday season.
the playing field is world wide, not just the usa. on another topic i do like there new commercials.
hmm would like to know where gamesblow gets his numbers since he seems to be ahead of everyone but coo ...even tho it is bound to start selln eventually
alot of ps3 ad's on tv these days
for instance the 360 is doing well everywhere else but japan and thats causing a lot of game to be exclusive to the PS3 by default. sony needs to impress american publishers so that they can start making better games for the PS3
