@Greenmedic: I'm betting on Sony getting royalties. After all, Cell includes patents from all three. How do they split the money and what kind of deal they had considering the manufacturing, is a whole different matter. There's still a lot money revolving around processors.
@NJ5: It looks like Cell was one trojan in PS3. It introduces programmers into the code, quick drop in costs if it would have sold as expected (and the Cell developement would have ran as it is now), keeping production line running, while the costs would have been offset by the number of games sold.
Just think about the synergic advantages for a moment. Some people offer HDTV sales for the advantages, but that's the least of all that the PS3 had "brought home".
