I know they do but I still do not see how console systems relate to a PPC based mobile chip that went nowhere ultimately. It was not a vanilla Cell chip but was based on the same tech.

Given the timing of its announcement it seemed like they just completed it to publicly snub Apple as odd as that sounds.
