Carmack vs. PS3

But the real comedy:

PS3 fanboys suggesting Carmack doesn't know what he's on about, could you imagine anything with more irony than that :p ?

Pretty interesting because Carmack has always been pro OpenGL and anti-DirectX, whereas the Wii and PS3 are OpenGL based systems and the XBox 360 is DirectX based. What he says is true though, the 360 development enviroment is fantastic and second to none, but if there's one thing MS does right it's dev. tools. Visual Studio is the one program suite I could never see myself replacing with an alternative. His sentiments on Cell echo what I've mentioned in the past - that cell just aint designed for gaming.
