Is the Playstation 3 doomed?

Seriously, where do you people get this stuff? The PS3 isn't even really that powerful when taking into consideration its primary objective, which is gaming. The cell is not a great chip for gaming. It's one hell of a server or supercomputer chip, but it's not particularly good for the non-linear nature of video game processing.

Servers? Now, that one's new!

Let me see... yeah, this is the right quote: “Seriously, where do you people get this stuff?”.

The Cell is great for gaming, er... I mean graphics, but isn't that what (PS3) gaming is all about? Seriously, bad for AI, game logic, etc. But great at helping out with real-time graphic effects in really dynamic environments.

You do realize that IBM developed the Cell for servers, right? That is its primary purpose and that's why IBM is touting it as their new big thing in blade servers.

And while the Cell is powerful, that I admit, I think 360's three symmetrical cores and more powerful GPU is the right move for gaming. And from the reports I'm reading from most developers, they're saying the same thing. Sure, it can help in real-time effects, but at the cost of AI. So how is that a good solution for gaming?

Playstation 3 GPU = 550

Xbox 360 GPU = 500

Nintendo Wii GPU = 243

Xbox GPU = 233

Nintendo Gamecube GPU = 167

Playstation 2 GPU = 143

Dreamcast GPU = 128

Playstation 3 is clearly more superior to the Xbox 360 in terms of GPU. It is just over 4 times as much as the Sega Dreamcast, Just under 3 times as much as the Playstation 2. Just under 3 times as much as the Nintendo Gamecube. Just over twice as much as the Xbox. Just over twice as much as the Nintendo Wii. Just over one time as much as the Xbox 360. Not 32 times more than the PS2. Not twice as much as the Xbox 360. Not 4 times as much as the Wii. It is the most powerful, but it is often times over exaggerated.
