Nice analogy
There is no doubt in my mind that the PS3 Slim will be the dominant console by the end of this generation. It may take a while in America, due to misplaced MS loyalty, but it simply offers too much value to ignore.
What do you think mum and dad are gonna buy their kid? The console that requires yearly subscriptions, has no in-built Wi-Fi and has a terrible track record for reliability? Or the console that gives you everything for free and also doubles as a Blu-ray player?

Unless...
Unless you want something smaller to slot into your home entertainment set-up. In which case PS3 Slim wins.
What about the WoW elves with big floppy ears? That's only one step away from porking a rabbit.
When the porn involves elves, then yes, it's pretty geeky.
Isn't it getting a bit old now? They've been kicking the 'King' (actually the worst performing console) in the groin for over three years now. Find something new to pick on.
No such thing as bad press? You don't seriously believe that do you? Most people are sheep who believe whatever the press tells them - if they see a handful of news stories slamming the PS3, they will think the PS3 sucks and never consider buying one. The anti-PS3 bias in the press is doing more damage than you realise.
Isn't that the one where Liam Neeson plays the most unlikely, unbelievable badass in the world? I thought it sucked.
Is there really that much difference between the two consoles when it comes to gaming? Unless you LOVE Halo and Gear of War, there's pretty much no difference between each machine. Except the PS3 has Blu-ray.
I really want to add 'snap!' to that comment. Does that make me a little bit gay?
Meh, I think the Dell PC comparison is pretty interesting - adding a Blu-ray player to that costs almost $300.
Actually, no - the article is aimed at people who are tossing up between a PS3 and Elite but haven't made their minds up yet. In this context, the PS3 is obviously a better deal. The Xbox 360 is obviously a great console in it's own right.
Phht. You're just jealous of my awesome fashion sense.
Except many of the linked articles are from Australian and UK websites. To them, the Xbox 360 is also a foreign product. :P
Yep, it bears repeating -- imagine if the faulty rates were reversed, and the PS3 had a 54% failure rate. Instant Apocalypse.
Interesting points, but how do you explain the bias in other countries, like Australia? (i.e. - the 'Sony Gives Gamers The Finger' article, for instance).
The thing is, the same bias is showing up in Australia and the UK, who don't really have any reason to back an American product over a Japanese one (i.e. - they're both foreign).
The sad thing is, Sony will now be forced to launch the PS4 ahead of Microsoft's next console, which will piss off legions of PS3 owners and start the hate all over again.
Yeah, but that last line is a bit ominous: "wait until you see what my lawyer has cooked up."
