Carmack: PS3 is just 'second best' console ever made

article published on 16 August, 2011

id Software's John Carmack puts PlayStation 3 (PS3) in second place. For game developers, having a console with plenty of computational power and with high data capacity available per title is certainly an advantage.

Shouldn't, or don't want me to? Still a free forum, and as far as I am aware, I haven't insulted anyone...And why you're "The ONEr" with ruffed up feathers? Why so defensive?
I do have something to add...Buy whatever, enjoy it, and stop trying so hard to prove to your neighbor that your grass is greener...
I do own a PS3 by the way, and one game. Makes a good Blu Ray player. I'm happy with it.
Rule #8. Don't reply with an off-topic comment/question...and your post was not on topic. Quite simple isn't it?

I suppose, when the only hand left that's an "upper-hand" is pulling out the "Rule # book" , I have to find myself guilty, defeated and ashamed, say goodbye, wish you luck, and unsubscribe!

Thank you for the entertainment! Xbox vs. PS3, this has been my favorite "News" subject to follow! The ardor with which some "funboys" defend their toy, trying to prove they like and own "the best" of toys and didn't get the short stick by choosing one over the other, is mostly inspiring...Inspires a great amount of smile!
You know, plenty of "funboys" own both toys and develop a preference through their experience with each system. I have both, and tend to play my PS3 more due to it having more features i enjoy.

on topic: sony set out to be a pain to develop for to begin with, this kind of backlash is to be expected.. like 2 years ago, seriously, the system's been out for almost 5 years, major dev's like id should already have everything figured out by now. look at ubisoft, they've already hit the ceiling for the current gen, or so they say.

The rules are there for a reason. Just like this one ~

#6. No foul language, insults, personal attacks or otherwise rude messages.

part of this one ~

#14. Do not play the role of a moderator if you are not one. There is absolutely no need to nitpick on the posts of new users. Let the moderators do their work.

or this one ~

Administrative actions

It is up to the moderators and administrators to determine what is appropriate and what is not.

They help curb issues with those who like to start problems by posting comments that have nothing to do with the topic. A kind of "Mind your business" & "If you don't have anything productive to add then keep it to yourself" problem fixer.

Both consoles are good in their own ways. XBOX Live is what makes the 360 great. Great hardware is what makes the PS3 great (great looking games such as KZ2 is inclusive in this point). Fanboys (you know who you are) of both platforms, DEAL WITH IT!



IMPORTANT: If you hate Sony for being so corrupt, copy this image into your signature too!
