Recently we had an out of context quote floating around on this website from id's John Carmack: "The PS3 is still far and away better than anything else that’s ever been made... except maybe the 360."This caused the expected, predictable responses.Here is the full quote:"Now the PS3 in particular, and this has been passed over many times over the years, but the core architectural decisions of having the cell processors versus additional symmetric processors makes life more difficult, unquestionably it’s harder to develop for those there. You have to use a separate tool chain, the debugging is crappier, and all this. The upside of that is, there is more raw performance for computing there than there is on 360. The PS3 is still far and away better than anything else that’s ever been made... except maybe the 360. It’s a great time to be a developer. It’s not like working with the Sega Saturn of the PS2, where these are really kind of quirky, cranky, architec well, architected, I would say." Make of it what you will, but it's the same story we've been hearing, the PS3 is more powerful but more difficult to develop for . . . etc, etc
