But we know the Cell's potential is fully suitable for gaming and multimedia purposes and we know its theoretical limits can be reached more easily (even possible) than with other CPU architectures.
The only thing is, we knew gaming engines hadn't modernized enough for many-core or many-CPU processor architectures (like I said well before the PS3 launched) which will become more and more common in the future, also it pressures developers to design their code more efficiently. The Cell significantly helps to push technology progress forward.
We saw similar things in the past. The tech gap between 2 color, soundless, single tasking Macs towards 4096 color, stereo sound, pre-emptive Amigas was huge. PCs even had MSDOS. The Atari ST paved the way a little for the Amiga, but it took years to fully show off the system. That's natural when try to innovative and generate major technological leaps. Software development became a lot more complex.
