id's Carmack: iPhone nearly as powerful as Xbox, PS2

@Viper1: I think you're taking his statement too literally. I don't think he meant the iPhone is technically equivalent to the Xbox. His mention of the PS2 only reinforces my belief. I think he was talking in quite broad terms, and taking the lower required graphical power into account (i.e. lower resolution).

@HappySqurriel: I approve of your assessment of the two Johns.

 

More directly, it's in the processing area of the DC and PSP.  Saying it's in leagues with the PS2/Xbox is disingenious when not only is it not on the same level as either but a more accurate analogy is easily stated as I just pointed out.
