Truth is it could have been.

I say that because the PS3 runs various versions of LINUX (I use Ubuntu). The PS3 is a powerful piece of hardware but Sony has chosen NOT to allow access to the GPU, making it perform extremely poorly with the GUI apps like GNOME.

Had Sony allowed access to the graphics hardware Linux could have gotten a much better foothold, as it is its like buying a Ferrari that wont go more than 55MPH
