Fact is Mike is so occupied dealing with numbers regarding Cell we all know that he forgets real world
If that would be the case I wouldn't have written the following statements with regard to the PS3 and Cell processor years before the PS3 actually launched:
"I understand that games developers may not be too fond of the idea of having to learn new ways to write their software."
"Today single CPU solutions are dominant, thus multithreading isn't really that much of a benefit. Software developers who mainly write for single processor solutions don't like doing extra (time=money) work to get the most out of multithreading for other platforms."
"It will probably take some time before developers manage to get the most out of this platform, as has for example also been the case with the classic Amiga chipsets. The early Amiga games don't compare well to the complex graphics used by for instance game like Elfmania or Lion Heart."
So if your allegation would be correct, I would probably have written totally different statements. Such as, superiority will become immediately apparent and all PC developers will be jumping from joy to get their hands on the Cell.
