Seriously MikeB.. The Cell processor is only one component of the PS3. You're giving information on how much of the Cell is being used in various games but you're talking as if it means percentage power of the entire console as a whole.

You've got to think about: CPU, GPU and RAM.. Not just the CPU.. Developers say their game is using a certain percentage but not why they're not using more. The reasons are mostly to do with bottlenecks.. Limitations in the hardware that don't allow the full use of a particular component.

So while the Cell may be much more powerful than the 360's CPU, the fact that the hardware isn't optimised as much as it could be in the PS3 means that we're never going to see what the Cell would be capable of in the PS3.

So stop talking about the cell as if it IS the Playstation 3
