Oh, I am not arguing at all that Kaz is an awesome hardware designer and truly deserve his place in video games history. Actually reading that article give me a huge appreciation for what he have bring to the industry, especially ultimately bringing down Nintendo.
All I am saying is, the article clearly shows the change in direction of PS3 from its predecessors. May be Kaz lost his perspective as you said, in the search to outdo Microsoft that we will never know (unless someday he wrote a tell all book). Reading article about Shippy (IBM chip designer) and it was clear that Kaz want PS3 to be the ultimate in as far as technology. Cell is definitely powerful but in the end PS3 is and should have been design as gaming machine first and marketed as such.
