So, Carmack first implies that PC gaming is not where it's at and that they need to focus on consoles and now he's whining about how consoles have poor hardware?

Lol. That is all.

He was asked why the PS3 version didn't perform better than it does and he answered the question. It's got nothing to do with whining. Not to mention that the move to focus on consoles is userbase-related rather than technology related.


No. He was requested to let us know if he could improve the game performance on ps3 or not. He was clearly pissed off and gave this harsh answer, that sounds a lot like an excuse. Q. : "Be professional and speak clearly: can you do something better?" A.: "The hardware is shit, it's not my fault".

It's an excuse. He could have simply answered that he had not enough experience on that kind of hardware, that he had not enough time to optimize the performances, that he miscalculated the tasks for those hardware capabilities. But saying that is just an excuse, 8Gb is not the largest install, and RAM is not that tight (it's even on a double bus, a feature that common pcs have not)...
