A famous idiom for you "fool and his money are easily parted", that would quite easily descirbe the person who paid $15,000.
The PS3 is the true successor to the PS2, just this time they didn't have a year head start and spend a fortune on securing third party exclusives. The only criticism I level at Sony is they completely cocked up their analysis on what people would be willing to pay for a console and the penalty is a overpriced product versus peoples perceived value.
I can say with 120% confidence Sony will not release their next console a year after Microsoft do. Microsoft set the value expectations the PS3 had to follow and ever since then its been catch up.
