Blu-Ray still isn't common enough on the PC and the Cell can still measure up very well compared to quad-core CPUs in terms of raw processing power.

For example the US military is adding more PS3s to their arsenal:

"Before it won the research award in 2008, the information directorate's advanced computing architectures team considered alternative configurations and the possibility of a hybrid system, but found multicore Xeon servers slower and more expensive than PS3s, and GPGPUs to be slower in some important types of calculations."

Of course the best selling PC games are the less demanding PC games, you can reach many more people by not targeting a top level gaming PC.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."
