First of all, while I agree that the newest ipod is the only ipod, they are still released in tiers.
An ipod touch, for example, has 3 - $230, $299, $399 for 8, 16, and 32 GB models respectively.
The PS3 also has tiers - $399 being the lowest. So you would be comparing the bottom of the PS3 to the top of the ipod. That is all that was being said.
Aside from that, calling the console "premium" is best if compared to other consoles, not ipods. The low-end 360 model is now $200, the Wii is $250, and the PS3 is $399. I would call that a premium.
Also, contrary to what Sony is trying to sell via marketing ploys, LBP is not a "casual game". And it's definitely not going to be the catalyst to turn the PS3 into a living room staple the PS2 was.
