Sony has always called it's games consoles computer gaming systems, which is also what games consoles are referred to in the UK. Even their gaming devisions are referred to in terms of computers; SCEE (Sony Computer Entertainment Europe) as an example, this term has been around since the days of Crash bandicoot on the PS1. So, this is no new term for Sony as they have made no attempt to justify the ludicious price.

They are relying on tech heads and Sony fan-boys to sell the product, and they can sell it at such a price because they know it will sell for the fanboys because it is a PS3 and for the tech heads because it has alot of new developments in it. This is all good, but these groups are minorities and won't help much for the PS3 selling in the mainstream and I will say again parents that see the price of the PS3 will not be swayed by a little added functionality.
