But there’s more to games than just physics. AI is going to be big, people want to see AI that can outsmart them. But the SPEs are ill-suited to do AI because they don’t have branch predictors to get the most likely next instruction dependant on an if statement. The PPE is good for that, but it will have to do other things as well. Look at Half-Life 2, excellent phsyics, it doesn’t take 7 coprocessors to make physics so impressive that someone made Garry’s mod to just to play with physics.
