Surely it'd be more apt if they painted the PS3 white. And then stuck a trunk on it.

Over in Japan they used to have the entire spectrum of colors to choose from for the PS2. There's been a gold one to commemorate a new Gundam game, a white one that came with Gran Turismo 4: Prologue (I have that one myself), a sakura (pinkish) colored one, blue, etc., and controllers to match.

Is this a sad tactic to try and trick old grannies buying consoles into mistaking the PS2 for a Wii?
