I chuckled at that PS2 ad: "Different Worlds. Different Rules. PS2: The Third Place"

Oh, the sweet irony!

I think it's a location, something like

1 - Real world

2 - Common fantasy world - probably refering to Nintendo, Microsoft, etc.

3 - Sony World. We run this shit!

Or maybe it was a very accurate prediction of the future for PS3 lol!

Slightly off topic, but last night I watching 'Bad Teacher' when all of a sudden the guy that plays Kevin Butler appeared! It just made my night. Great stuff!
