If you were to read this story on DS fanboy, then you might think the DS is more in demand than even the Wii and the PS3. Well, I can backup this claim.
On Thursday, I drove over to my local used game store and asked how much I could get for my old DS phat. They quoted me 12000yen. I was a little taken aback. I only paid 11 000yen for it used last year. That means I would be making a 1000yen profit on it.
However, that wasn’t the biggest surprise of the night. That came when I asked how much I could buy a DS lite for. He told me they were currently going used for mere 23 000yen used. To put that into perspective, these things can usually be purchased new for 16800yen.
So basically, if you live in Japan, your odds of getting a Wii or a Playstation 3 are far greater than getting a DS. Good luck! You’ll have me as competition.
