Ever wonder how much the PS3 costs in relation to other things? Well, for the price of a PS3, you can buy yourself 600,000 jelly beans, or 600 beers for you and your friends in Thailand.

Yup, it's a lot of money... but perspective can also be gained by comparing it to the average income of a Spanish family, where a PS3 is likely to cost up to 35% of the monthly household income.

That's just one of the facts cited in DFC Intelligence's latest 600 page report of the interactive entertainment industry. Overall, they see the PS3 as coming in last in installed base in the next-gen console wars unless Sony changes their strategy.

Not a chance, the ps3 will come a close second if not first - it's fan base is just too large.
People will buy the console just because of the name or if they had a ps2 etc.
If ken tells them is the most powerful console people will buy it.

fan base? look around buddy, most people i talk to that are hardcore ps2 fans aren't buying the ps3 because of all the bull that sony dishes out.  and all the casual ps3 fans aren't bothering with the ps3 because of its high price.

ps3 fans?? HAHAHA thats a good laugh
