Yes, the Cell can be made to run games well, but at what cost in terms of development? The thing which Microsoft brought to the industry was knowledge and willingness to help developers be more efficient, Sony should learn that from them.
No matter what some exclusive developers say, asymmetrical processors with glorified DSPs running on low memory must be a bitch to program some algorithms with. The PS2 was a difficult architecture too, but developers had to live with it because it was so successful. Sony is probably hoping that the same happens with the PS3, but it's not guaranteed.
