Microsoft should use the cell next gen

In 2011 or 2012 when the next gen starts (maybe 2010) microsoft should just use the cell for its processor.

1. By then the develops will know how to develop for it (finally)

2. be really cheap to make by then

3. if it said to be yrs ahead of its time this gen, then by next gen it will be good for next gen

4. with it so cheap microsoft can put in a really good gpu and put its ram to 1gb(atleast) without drastically increasing the price of the console.

anyone else think this would be a really good idea?

I think they'll have better CPU's by then. Besides I don't think MS wants to cure cancer, I think they'd rather use it for games.

Its not like they can just use it, its Sony property.loky4000

I'm not sure but I think IBM owns it. I think Sony contributed but again I'm not sure.

The Cell is overated garbage.Meu2k7

agreed . i havent seen it deliver anything from all the promises that were made.

or they could use something faster that's easier to use for devs

the most high profile use of the cell resulted in failure (PS3)

Agreed Twice

According to devs, the two systems are pretty much the same, power wise. With the 360 trading off pure processor power for more memory.

I think MS should just use the next generation in multi-core processors. The cell doesn't make that much difference in the end.

the cell is from the future

it's so advanced we'll unlock it's potential 300 years from now
