no it was just way to expensive, no one has seen what it can really do. And if by next year we havnt seen the "power of the cell" then you can call it a "flop"

All they are doing is selling the right to manufacture the Cell Chip to Toshiba, rather then doing it in-house.

Toshiba probably makes half the stuff in the 360 and the Wii too...

lol, people still don't understand the Cell at all.

It was already logically answered as to why they sold it though.

So Sony isn't producing the Cell anymore... Another company will do it for them. Do you really think that M$ makes the Xenos in the 360?

Sony knowing IBM has a grudge with MS from the past,saw an oppurtunity to work with IBM to take down MS, with PS3 and linux etc.
