PS3's Cell Processor

[Perfect Stu]

gekko,

every point you made makes complete sense and I agree with you...

however, I believe it was sony's ambitious PS2 design that will allow the system to have a very long lifecycle. if PS2 was built in 1999 with PC-like components, I think we would have seen the PS2 maxed out graphics-wise 2-3 years ago. I dont think MGS3 or GT4 would be possible on 1999 PC parts.
