If the PS3 is an F1 car, the team manager is an alcoholic who spends more time in the VIP tent getting into the free booze than bothering to hire decent drivers.
No, X360 is a Ford Pinto, it is a perfect analogy:
Company tries to beat competition to market with a new product it rushed through design. They knows it has serious (and potnntially fatal) design faults, but still sells the faulty product to customers, as the cost of fixing the cause of the problem is greater then dealing with its effects (RROD warrantee for Microsoft, wrongfull death claims for Ford)
Oh, the PS3 is a McLaren F1 (Fast, Expansive, but tricky to drive), and the Wii is a lotus (Lightweight cheap and chearful fun, but slow in the straits)

Excellent point.

F1 = fast yet expensive and useless.
GoKart = fun yet underpowered.
