Welcome to MS's worst nightmare, a new architecture to its old and far surpassed x86 OS's. This is why MS got into gaming, to try and not let Sony into PC processors. The only thing that really blocks IBM/Sony processors is the OS (wich, surprisinly - sarcasm! - MS wont do, because it would make them spend tons of money).
Cell end up helping make the industry advance in the multi-core/CGPU way, but its life will end up being inside some supercomputers and Toshiba/Sony eletronics.
PS- Only one iteration of the CELLBE (the one IBM makes for supercomputers) had its development cancelled. For other appliances (PS3/4, Toshiba TVs) its still on, since there is a contract stipulanting it, so chill out about that.
