The statement comes across pretty badly regardless of what might have been intended. Only a fanboy could fail to see that.

i thought the statement was a very positive one.

like when you point to the new Mitsubishi Evolution X and say: that car is a monster, it eats up everything the road can throw at it.

see, positive

 

 

except he didnt say something positive after referring to it as a monster.  it was negative.

but he did say something positive before it:

"In the last two years, we've known what the PS3 is capable of, the specifications of it and how we can utilise it," he continued. "PS3 is a monster machine. That's why it took so much time to create Metal Gear Solid 4."

ie. it took some time to get used to and make good games, but now the capabilities of the machine are known it's a monster. The reason why it took so long it took to make MGS4, is because it took time to realise the mosnter capabilties of the machine.

it's all in the way you chose to interpret the last paragraph. to me that sounds positive. hard at first, but worth it to make a game of MGS4 standard.

It still sounds to me like a back handed jab at the ps3. You could replace the word monster with nightmare, It took 2 years just to figure out what it could do, which makes it sound like difficult hardware to use.

 

I think the jist is, sure it is powerful but it just extremely hard to get that power out of it. I suppose thats ok if devs are prepared to put 4 years into making a game and fan can wait 4 years.
