This topic only makes me think that Sony wants to lay the seeds to its own destruction. This only binds consumers as "superior" PS3 ports will only cause more grief for developers.

Then NJ5 succeeded at his goal.  Arbitrary "evidence" based on a 3 second quote from an 18 minute video.  Even then it's a cuffed quote where Carmack qualifies his statement by saying Sony doesn't want delays without withdrawing some of the marketting support and "things like that".  He does not really come out and say Sony denies the game release.  This is of course after he admits that his experience isn't direct, but more through 3 separate proxy companies that actually did the port work for a previous game.
