No, I'm sorry, but you're wrong. It's a sophomoric and bitter piece. Read it again and note all the hyperbole and insults. Note all the strawman arguments and false information. That's not professional at all.
As for the idea that improving your hardware hurts gaming, that's ridiculous. It's like saying we should take brushes away from painters and give them pieces of grass because it will make their paintings better. It's just sophistry. Not even Nintendo believes that, as every single device they've made has been more powerful than previous models.
Even then, the entire point of Sony's presentation wasn't "moar power", it was about removing artificial barriers. Are the artists themselves, the developers, complaining about the Cell being replaced by normalized PC architecture? Are they angry that more RAM lets them do what they want? If so, then I'll listen to his point, but I haven't heard anything like that.
The writer just wants gaming to fit his vision, that's all, and no other. He doesn't want explosions, he doesn't want FPS, he doesn't want anything that he won't enjoy to exist. And that's sad and hateful. I loathe people like that.

That's pretty hypocritical coming from someone with an extensive history of complaining about Nintendo systems, Mario games and platformers in generatl.

I've complained about Nintendo's lack of variety, but that's a different beast. I have nothing against Nintendo, and wouldn't mind having a Wii U if they end up having more RPGs this gen than the others, which looks possible. I also don't complain about platformers existing, I have zero problem with that. Less than zero problem, actually, because I think all genres have a right to exist and that having more types of games improves gaming as a whole. I just don't care much for plat-formers personally but that's not the same as hating them.
So, no, not hypocritical at all.
