Well the CELL was never going to be everyones cup of tea.

I've lost count of the number of people that defend it and claim all DEVS in the world bar a handful are "LAZY DEVS"

The fact is in video game terms the CELL is the proverbial square peg in a round hole.

It was designed for multi processor supercomputing. Climate modelling and such.

no..and once again no it's not.

thats the same rubbish of "if its not x86" its not good for game's BS.

LOOK WHILE I respect you and all that is total 100% rubbish. all future game development will have to be for multiple core you have to learn it now or later. the very fact is it does not matter which you learn on x86, The cell, sparc etc.

just because the Cell is not a "x86" does not mean it's not suited for game's as a matter of fact the Cell is quite proven for game design and theory.

that's why the Cell processor is very suited for graphic acceleration.

which is ding..ding..ding good for GAME's
