Look, it's Mr Newells opinion, if you google around you'll see that there are a lot of other developers who see the possibilities of the Cell and scientists who think ( & say ) that the Cell is a CPU-revolution and the x86 architecture will come to an end once programmers are used to the Cell architecture and the Cell is more optimized.

I'm not saying that Mr Newell is wrong and others are right, but currently there are a lot of different opinions out there, where the most of them are in the favor of the Cell.

So this topic is rather useless, it just reflects the current opinion of Mr Newell which can change completely every few months.

There is one issue, just a small one, they have to sell the idea to the market, make them believe that the cost will be smaller compared to the benefits...

This is not only about the Performance and Optimization, is about the market share and user base, whats the point of making optimized software just for the cell if the market doesn't want to leave behind the x86 architecture... (Because all the money they had invested on it, hardware and software)
