The PS3 is "out," the Wii is "in"

I'm a big fan of year-end lists, including the negelected "in-and-out" lists that used to be so popular. It's no surprise that the PS3 made one such listing... it's just surprising that it made it on the "out" side of things. Here's the full blurb from your good friends at the Springfield News-leader:

In:
Nintendo Wii - With its innovative motion-sensing controller, the latest console from The House That Mario Built is taking the gaming world by storm and could put Nintendo back on top of the gaming biz in 2007. We challenge you to find one on a store shelf.
Out: Sony PlayStation 3 - Short on positive buzz, the long-dominant PlayStation brand could take a hit in 2007 thanks to the PS3's shockingly high price tag ($599) and stiffer competition from the Wii and Microsoft's Xbox 360.

Not to worry though, as this list has zero credibility. Here's the very next listing in this doozy of an in-and-out list...

In: MP3 downloads
Out: Albums

Wow! That's amazing cultural insight. Are we sure that they understand that the current year is 2006... not 1999?

Can you think of a few in/out items that you'd like to add? Here's one to get the ball rolling...
