wired.com — Suffering from its exorbitant price point and a dearth of titles, Sony's PlayStation 3 isn't exactly the most popular gaming platform on the block. But while the console flounders in the commercial space, the PS3 may be finding a new calling in the realm of science and research.

That exactly what IBM is doing. They have 75 SPE " cluster blocks" that mount on their processor cores for their high end computers. You can also get CELLs in blade servers. IBM also has brands of Linux/Unix that actually take advantage of the SPEs. In short IBM FTW.

Also the 360 suffered greater supply constraints then the PS3. This had the effect of lowering the initial sales of the 360.
