I don't see why one should see PS3 as tier 1 target;
For a very simple reason: they are cheap and abundant, and can be had
new, instead of being forced to scavenge off of ebay (and I should
know, about 50% of my private server park is hardware scavanged
"boots to some kind of a prompt" off of ebay).
Granted, versus following reason why it's NOT tier 1: What can be done
with such a box besides booting it and
- display a nice screensaver
- maybe show some content (streamed movie, blueray, whatever)
On the other hand, a Power machine (don't forget Apple's G3 to G5
machines!) has far more options...
it'd be nice to have Cell supported, but that's no necessity.
I'd say it's easier to get it ported to PS3 first, and then CHRP
POWER second, if need be. Which I seriously doubt there would be.
This is a shame...
