That's a pretty poor comparison; The PS3 has been available for over 4 years now. 4 years ago, Nokia's flagship phone at the time was the N73 or something. Can you imagine people today being amped to pick up an N73?

Not only do consoles have a far greater lifespan overall, but this generation looks to be one that will last longer than previous ones have (There's a good reason for that, but this is not the place to discuss it). Sony could take the hit to begin with because they knew that over time their manufacturing costs would decrease. Nokia have no such luxuries, and neither do any other phone OEMs.
