in a recent interview, Gabe Newell of Valve was asked what he thinks of PS3:
mind you, mr. Newell is not the only one who is negative about PS3. Tim Tweeney of Epic Games complains that because of PS3's specific architecture developing games for it is alsmot 5x more expensive than for 360.
John Carmack of id software said that he prefers Microsoft's console bacause the development tools are much cheaper and easier to use.
so I guess the opinions of those leading industry officials conclude the whole 360 vs PS3 battle.
Gameinformer:What about the PS3?
Gabe Newell: The PS3 is a total disaster on so many levels, I think It's really clear that Sony lost track of what customers and what developers wanted. I'd say, even at this late date, they should just cancel it and do a "do over". Just say, "This was a horrible disaster and we're sorry and we're going to stop selling this and stop trying to convince people to develop for it". The happy story is the Wii. I'm betting that by Christmas of next year, the Wii has a larger installed base than the 360. Other people think I'm crazy. I really like everthing that Nintendo is doing.
