Wow, another big time game developer expressing his opinion about the PS3. You can read the previous PS3 hating one with Gabe Newell here.
Dr. Andrew Garrett has been working with EA since ‘03, and is now working on the new Command and Conquer game. His views are both interesting and puzzling. Why is it that game makers think the PS3 will fail? With professionals game makers saying this, it’s really ruining Sony’s reputation. Now let’s get on to the quote:
“I make video games, currently working for Electronic Arts on the latest Command & Conquer. Last year, the prediction was that Sony would win the next-gen war, that the PS3 would be the dominant console, just like the PS2 was.
That is no longer the case. The extremely strong performance of the Wii, combined with the miserable performance of Sony has revised pretty much everyone’s expectations. Right now, most of us here think the 360 will be on top for this generation, with the battle for second place between Sony and Nintendo (and that’s a major shock, as we’d nearly written Nintendo off for the non-handheld market.) Most of us still think Sony will beat off Nintendo, simply due to the older graphics on the Wii, but it’s not a sure thing.
My opinion - get the 360 and/or the Wii. Skip the PS3 unless there’s a big change in the near future.”
Thanks to IA for the heads up.
