I'm going to be buying some video games to resell, and I figured that between wii, playstation 3, and xbox360 that xbox360 would probably resell higher since originally their new games seem to cost more.. Am I wrong? I mean obviously it depends also on the game but let's say there was a good used game to resell in all consoles, which do you think would it be more expensive for?

I'm not sure if it is the same in every country, but in the US, new games, both for PS3 and 360, cost $60 a piece. However, I think that if we're talking about resale you should go with the 360. Whenever I visit craigslist to see if there are any good deals, most of them are for 360. This has led me to believe that in resales, that market is much bigger compared to that of the ps3 and even more so when talking about the Wii. However, don't forget that Jtagging an xbox now is ridiculously easy and tons of people offer this service. What this means is that even though the resale market might be bigger, people have more and more access to free games. Potentially, the ones that you are selling. What I recommend, and only if you have enough capital, buy some ps3 and buy some 360. See which sells best, and from there on establish your business. Seeing as how big the videogame market is, the broader the better. I say sell both ps3 and 360 (Wii market is way to small, don't invest there).

resell value you mean? well those that are established already like resident evil series, final fantasy, halo and such. but if your a collector of video games, what you look for are those limited editions and such.

the problem with getting the popular titles is what if i waited too late and everyone that plays them already own them all? i saw a cheap rock band one and im like hmm everyone that actually plays this probably already has it or is thinking about getting rid of theirs.. so hard to predict what people want and need
