Dead last means last one standing. If anything, it's dead first.


I will admit that dead last can mean that you are last place by a large margin but it doesn't mean last man standing.  I went ahead and took dead last out of my statement because it wasn't meant to be anymore than saying the PS3 was last. 

dead last (not comparable)

  1. (idiomatic) Finishing in last place in a competition or (in sports) the standings, often by a considerable margin to the next-to-last-place finisher or after an exceptionally poor showing or season.
