A miserable failure due to it's high price and trying to sell a high-end computer to the mass, rather then a gaming console.
I was wondering why Sony wanted to turn a gaming console like the Playstation 2 into a Sony VAIO-esque Playstation 3.

Nintendo fanboys like to dis the Playstation 3 only because they are too bored playing with their wii, and I don't mean the controller.

Large George Foreman Grill-looking games Console, which despite powerful graphics, seems to be floundering due to it's insurmountable price and lame game lineup. In a nutshell, Utter wank.
"That playstation 3 is utter wank"

The best console for the gamer. It will be released in spring 2006 and have so much more then the PS2 had. The heart of this beast is the CELL PowerPC-base core with 7 working cores each running at 3.2 GHz. The total floating point performance is 218 gigaflops for the CELL. The GPU for it will be the RSX "Reality Synthesizer" made by Nvidia running at 550 MHz with 1.8 TFLOPS and full HD up to 1080p x 2. There will be 512 MB of both XDR and GDDR3 RAM at crazy speeds. To sum it up this is going to be sweet.

George Foreman grill with benefits.
Mom: "Josiah, cook me up some of them burgers on the Foreman."
Josiah: "But mother, all we have is a Playstation 3."
Mom: "I know."

System currently (probably) on/off the works. It will probably have more standard computer similarities such as a high GB harddrive with purchase, etc.
