ts been over 3 years since people began developing games for the PS3
Even PS3 exclusives like Genjii 2 or Fl0w did not use the SPUs at all. It takes a while for PPE code to be moved over to the SPUs, it took a while for a mature dev kit to arrive. Look at the PS3's OS at launch and how much has been added and will be added soon, IMO Sony released the PS3 as soon as the hardware was solid, but the Cell approach was too different to have mature software engines around launch. This takes time, the Amiga was radically different, it took many years for devs to really tap into its custom chip potential, this due to being so different and cutting edge for its time. Luckily Sony provides a lot better developer support than Commodore ever did.
