Gamers are understandably upset after three weeks of PlayStation Network downtime, developers are
losing out on potential sales, and the resale value of PS3 games is reportedly taking a hit.
According to
VideoGamePriceCharts.com, which tracks the prices of videogames sold through online shops like Amazon and eBay, the average resale price of 10 select PS3 games has dropped 7.4% since the beginning of the PSN outage on April 20. Those same 10 games (dictated by a
list of the most popular games posted by Major Nelson), by contrast, have seen their resale value go up 0.7% during that same span of time. The resale value of
Call of Duty: Black Ops, the most popular multiplayer game on Xbox Live, has increased 2% for 360 copies compared with an 8.9% drop for PS3.
