Either you're pointing out a more important truth (that most PCs sold today are laptops in the $500 to $1000 range) or you're completely delusional.
The Cell processor will have similar performance to processors that were released using a similar process and have a similar number of transistors, it will have certain advantages and disadvantages compared to other processors but you can not break the fundimental laws of physics simply because you're designed by Sony. It is likely that the Cell processor will soon be outperformed by CPUs that are available in laptops simply because the move towards a 45nm or 32nm process allows more transistors to be put on a processor and the processor to be run at a higher clock speed.
Beyond that the GPU in the PS3 is similar to a Geforce 7800 which will soon be worse than most budget graphics cards, and soon after that will be worse than integrated graphics cards.
Moore's Law doesn't stop because Sony says so ...
