Gabe Newell says the PS3 is a waste of everybody's time

You can find public quotes here, here and here.

In order of the links you posted:

1- Starts by saying programming for the PS3 is easier than for the PS2, which is not a great compliment. One guy then says that it's not massively different from programming on the PC, but then another one complains about the small SPE memory on the Cell. Not very convincing as a proof that PS3 programming is easy.

2- I didn't read what the link says because it's a huge forum topic, but it's from the developers of Killzone, who have done nothing but PS3 programming for years on a huge team which will surely be more expensive than the revenue from the game? Not very convincing either, sorry... If there's some striking quote that you've read there, please point me to it.

3- Again, what is said here is that programming for the PS3 is easier than for the PS2 (again, not a great compliment). And notice that it comes from the developers of Lair, which as I've read has framerate issues. Hardly convincing!

None of those links really convinces me that  PS3 programming is easy, say, compared to the Xbox 360.
