The Cell is a dog when it comes to gaming. It basically requires developers to spend more time than needed (and have to come up with little tricks) in order to get similar performance to much weaker processors. Look at Unreal Engine 3 for example, there was a game just cancelled because the PS3 version of the engine couldn't keep up with the 360 and PC versions.
The next Xbox console will have a processor that'll blows away the one in the PS3 for gaming and if Sony continues to go the Cell route with their next console then they'll deserve to lose even more marketshare (or even get knocked out of the console wars). Third parties have already had to pay the price with extra development time and money because of the Cell and with Sony's marketshare rapidly decreasing it's a given they won't allow themselves to be screwed again.
