Microsoft also uses the CELL chip in thier Xbox 360 although a more simplified one, so they will also need to look elsewhere for a new chipmaker for their Xbox new generation. this all maybe good news for Nvidia and ARM/MIPS based chip providers. I think a new Game console will ahve a dedicated Video chip and a lower powered CPU. There is no need anymore a high powered CPU.

@daskino No they don't they use a tri-core powerpc processor. The difference being that a cell has SPEs while the xbox has hyperthreaded cores.
