So, do you work in the game industry?


No, but I had my own tech company in the past and know various games developers and low level programmers. I mostly quote low level games developers regarding the PS3's potential. If I quote myself, I would for example quote myself from long before the PS3 launched:

"It will probably take some time before developers manage to get the most out of this platform, as has for example also been the case with the classic Amiga chipsets."

Considering my experience, I would never have claimed the same with regard to the 360. And I think there originates some differences of opinion, many people seemed to have expected near optimal results from the PS3 early on, however IMO for this the used architecture was too different and innovative for its time, compared to tradional game engines.

I was also referring to a modern console dev kit


I am not a games developer, I do however have a Linux/CellSDK installed on my PS3.

The bolded is true of virtually every console released. Thats not insightful, its common fucking sense.

Otherwise thanks for proving my point. You're a man with no experience developing games, yet you criticize the opinion of people who do it everyday as being off base. Don't you see a problem with that? Its like a kid who modifies his car on the weekend claiming the things an F1 mechanic says as off base, wrong and fanboyish.
