maybe something with similar design style as the X360, only more powerful?
I don't think that would be a good idea. The Cell is far more efficient and far more powerful/flexible with regard to what it can do.
Some claim they would have wanted the PS3 to be like a Wii, I think that would have been very bad for consumer choice. The PS3 being so different, introduces challenges as well as oppertunities, but I think being too similar would be very bad for consumer choice.
Has the Cell's good exclusives outweighted the other harm it has caused? Are said exclusives really that much better than X360 or PC exclusives?
The PC has more and more become a non factor as a gaming platform, its most successful games are also some of the least technically demanding. And yes from a technical perspective PS3 games have IMO proven to be on a different level already vs 360 exclusives and there's still so much exciting potential available to developers.
