"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," began Newell while sharpening his claws. "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.’"

Die Xbox bekommt auch ihr Fett weg:
"Microsoft has so many problems with Vista; I wish they were focusing more on the thing that runs on hundreds of millions of PCs rather than six million proprietary clients. Vista really shows a lack of focus on making a better consumer platform. I came out of the Windows group, and right now, I’d go with a Macintosh as being a better solution for most consumers than a Vista-based PC. It’s shocking to me. If you’re an XP user, you’re going to be more comfortable upgrading to an Apple than Vista."

"I don't think they spent nearly enough time talking to developers when they were developing the PS3," he said. "It's less friendly for developers."
And Newell said he believes the issues are hardware, not software ones.
"It's a hardware architectural problem. I don't think they thought through the Cell architecture. The hardware is only as good as the software it enables."
Newell said Sony should have followed the path Intel took in developing multicore chips.
(mit anderen Worten: Bitte keine Innovationen! Da müssen wir uns ja mit Parallelisierung beschäftigen! Genau hier ist er bei mir absolut unten durch gewesen.)

"I think [PS3 is] a waste of everybody's time," he said. "Investing in the Cell, investing in the SPE gives you no long-term benefits."
"There's nothing there that you're going to apply to anything else. You're not going to gain anything except a hatred of the architecture they've created. I don't think they're going to make money off their box. I don't think it's a good solution," he continued.

Valve übernimmt Turtle Rock, den Entwickler von Left 4 Dead (ja, Lft 4 Dead ist so wenig von Valve wie die Ursprünge von Portal)

“We were really crappy at bringing games to consoles,” he said. He cited the time it took to move the original Half-Life games to console formats as an example of how the company had come “really late” to console development. He said that while the focus had always been on PC, the company had now moved up a gear to produce games simultaneously on Xbox 360 and PC, but that it had limited interest in developing for Playstation 3.
(Hier ist er schon vorsichtiger, und die Xbox360 ist immerhin kein ein überflüssiger, proprietärer Client mehr.)

(Das ist jetzt von Lombardi, Valve Marketing)
"We're not PS3 developers - we're doing PC and 360 like with Orange Box. EA came to us and said 'Wow, Orange box was an incredible project, can we do a PS3 version?'"
"We're only 150 people, so there's only so many things we can do. But it's one of those things with partners, wanting to take on that investment and risk. I think until L4D is proven, you'll probably just see what we make in that franchise."
(aha, schon recht moderate Töne)

"I think we need to do a good job with supporting the PS3 with the Source engine. Our engine licensees would like us to do it. I think we need to invest more in getting that in there. So I think that we'll, over time, be directly more and more supporting the PS3 as our bandwidth allows us to."
Und, natürlich trotzig, auf Nachfrage:
"Nothing has really changed about the PS3 in terms of what it is. I don't really have anything new to say one way or another."

Reicht doch, oder nicht?
Wenn er wenigstens kosequent wäre. Aber so wirkt das erst recht abstossend.
