Regardless of which game console you prefer, the Wii apparently has it all over the Playstation 3 in at least one category: colors. GameDrift says it has confirmed that Nintendo will release its game box in red, black and possibly other hues at an undisclosed time, according to CrunchGear. If true, it would be a smart move (and we think an obvious one), given the success that custom shops have seen just by adding a little color to PS3s and selling them on eBay for upwards of $1,400. Why Sony itself is taking so long to figure this out, we'll never know.

Different Colored PS2

I may be mistaken but it seems a few years ago, I saw the PS2 in different colors available exclusively for sale on their website, then again I may have been looking at the Japanese site through a translator site.
