A few years ago Carmack said he hated the PS3.
He later commented on the fact that the PS3 has less available memory due to the amount required by the OS.
Later he commented that the PS3 had more power for simulation, while the XBOX had other distinct benefits. Since they were designing a multiplatform engine, they wanted the game to run the same on each console. Time and time again he mentioned that the PS3 was the limiting factor.
Another article mentioned that the engine would take advantage of the Cell due to it's ability to use multiple cores.
Now it seems he's impressed with the choice for Blu-Ray in terms of future proofing the PS3
Anyways... I can't wait for both games!!!
