It is hard. PS3 has incredibly specialized hardware. Even game developers had trouble making games for it at the time because it’s so arcane.

Yes it is hard, and that was their damn fault. I can’t believe they expected developers to have to program which processors take which loads with such granularity. Unbelievably stupid.

Was the idea to improve performance?

Yes, when used properly it did out perform the competition.

Yes but the modest improvement in output over the 360 was clearly not worth it
