By people who don't have one. Seriously. Given that it is still a recently 
released product that in terms of current users is far below even #8, the 
inclusion of PS3 is nothing more than marketing itself, and/or people who 
have angst over not having one After all they do say they think "the PS3 is a 
but young to join any 'all time' lists just yet", but they included it 
anyway. Why?. Marketing (or a genuflex to Microsoft). Is there anything else 
on that list that would get press today?

I'd add Ruby to the list, personally. How about every US presidential 
candidate in the last several decades. Certainly they qualify as "products". 
And with the possible exception of Reagan, they were all "overrated" ;^)

IMO these kind of lists say more about the person/entity making them then they 
do about what "made the list". 

Without a doubt what should have debuted at #1 on the list: PC Magazine
