Yes, the PS3 was nothing more than the Cell. You know your stuff.

Why do you get personal? The CELL was the heart of the system, yes. I don't know why you think and talk in extremes.

Is this a joke, cuz I'm not sure I get it. You're the one talking in extremes saying that Sony's success is due to their hardware suppliers..

Unless you meant to write it like this: (bolded the changes)
That was likely more thanks to IBM than Sony. Like the whole development of the CELL, for instance.

The way you write it, it seems like all the cost savings measures past and current are due to external suppliers, and use one example as concrete proof. I figure you just might've been writing very vaguely. If you wrote it like my correction above, I'd have to agree.

I meant it this way, the CELL was and is a very complex chip to build and was a huge price factor in PS3, besides bluray.

And we weren't talking about success but about Sony so fast reducing the price of PS3 which was also because of IBM being able to produce the CELL cheaper.
