> I just hope the next playstation uses the cell so all this work these devs are doing isn't wasted
The good thing in taking the PS3 approach of development is not only beneficial to the PS3 itself, it allows for better performance on other systems as well including modern PCs and the XBox 360. So future Playstations will certainly benefit nomatter if Cell based or not (as will a future XBox). Of course I myself also hope when a new Playstation will be released in the distant future it will be based on one (or more) CPU(s) of similar design. This should be the case if they stay on the PPC route taking into consideration IBM's comments regarding their future console roadmap.
The PS3 way of developing mainly means efficient modern smart design. That's beneficial not only to the PS3.
