Um...Deep Blue cost several million dollars...I saw people losing their minds when the PS3 released as a $600 console / movie player! Even if the number of flops the PS3 does makes Deep Blue "not impressive", you have to account for the fact that it was designed and built SPECIFICALLY to play chess...the consoles on the other hand are NOT!

I don't believe there is much of a mass market for $1,000,000+ consoles at the moment...
