I'm a software developer, I write business software but I have to agree with Andir as I believe it was Sony's goal all along to have the SPE's on the Cell work in tandem with the RSX as a secondary video processor. I just hope that Sony's programmers have already written the low level code and perhaps even class libraries upon which developers and take advantage of the Cell on that level. Otherwise its no wonder "its hard to develop for". If the code is low-level it would be extremely difficult for most game developers to use as they probably build their 3d engines on top of existing C++ (or other language) class libraries.

 Well at least your the one of the few who understands how the PS3 works and understands its strength.

games: B
Sales: B-
Marketing: B-
Overall: B-
Lineup will improve fast, but sales have been sluggish. If sales pick up, it could hit B+/A- by end of year.

Wii
Games: C
Sales: B+
Marketing: A+
Overall: B
Took away from sales for inability to ramp up production. Software will get huge boost by end of year. If Holy Trinity (metroid, mario,smash) delivers, heading for easy A.

Ps3

Sales: C
Marketing: D
Overall: C-
Perception is worse than reality. Still 2-3 price cuts away from mass market. Needs 1 or 2 big games to break through the bad PR. Mostly comes down to roll of dice on new franchises.
