Actually, the fine granularity of the Cell architecture makes it easier to code for than Xenon's 3 dual processors.

That is so not true. It's going to be much easier to code for a sane 6-way xenon SMP than it is to code for that crazy DMA/SPRAM/APU monstrosity that Cell is going to be, if the patents are at all close to reality.

MS knows a lot about coding on parallel SMP architectures already. Windows Server 2003 can already run quite well on 64-way SMP machines -- and you can bet that knowledge will apply nicely to a 6-way SMP xenon, if that's really what it is going to be.

Confirmed(?) Xbox Next Titles So Far:


Vanguard
Dark Sector (from Digital Illusions)
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes? That's a PC only title so far I believe?

Dark Sector, Digital Extremes :)

Anyways, it's gonna be cool. I'll wait and see though. The discission is still kinda pointless, because theres no 'solution' to the 'problem'. :) That there will be cool games is all I care for, and let's hope Microsoft makes the machine nice and powerfull. Set the bar high.
