Just because you don't hear complain doesn't mean they don't. PS3 has difficulty architecture. When devs like Carmack says it, then you know its a pain to develop for.

he didn't bash the PS3, he simply said that PS3 is more challenging because the memory is segmented and sony uses more of the memory than MS

Developers like Naughty Dog and Guerrilla have more in house resources and support to work with than say a third party who isn't familiar with the PS3's infrastructure. Like sever stated, if John Carmack had pains developing on it, then you know it's a pain, considering the man is a programming prodigy.

Define "people like (me)" in more detail please. :)

Mehmeh. This is becoming another used vs. new topic, surprise surprise.

For all the negative of a dev/pub not getting cash *directly* from a used sale, it DOES help promote their name and franchises for the next go-round. That's why sequels often sell more than the originals; for all the more copies the original might have sold, the sequel would take a hit due to a lot of people simply passing the original up. This is time-tested fact. Kind of like how inFamous 2 benefited greatly from Sony's Welcome Back package offering the original for free.

Those non-profit copies eventually became profit in a lot of cases. Plus some people buy new games planning on trading them in later. Without that option, you'd have less new sales too. It all goes round and round.

Japan's a pretty good example of a thriving game business where used sales are even more common than they are in NA. Western journalists like to say gaming is, for some reason, dead in Japan because they don't like the games they get, but dude, come over here and take a look things. Used game shops are over the place, and yet, on launch days of big titles, lines stretch outside the stores. They coexist just fine.
*Sigh*

@Chnswdchldrn
I think he means that it's harder to optimize for the PC so some PC's have to rely on raw power to run at that level of graphics because there are many different types of hardware, however consoles are easier as everyone has the same hard ware so much easier to optimise

More i hear that. The more sounds like a port from 360.
yeh the guys good i listened for over hour watched the quakecon video. Were he gave his speach well seem more like a lecture.
From all of that its true. He didnt seem too happy about ps3. But more shocked when he stated about issues with pc.
But yet only thing he said about 360 was the discs but quickly chamged to fact why the install be soo much better. Cos the ram better twxtures load from HDD better. Then went on to say about how ms have gave out dev kits to most 3rd party devs for tje 360.
Then next day a post come up on n4g. From Bethesda stating basicly relax its ok. The game run fine everything be the same. That got me more bit concerned. As a pc gamer and a ps3 owner.

Since the consoles have locked hardware specs, you can code directly to the hardware much of the time. For PC, your code filters through so many abstraction layers that you need more raw horsepower to overcome the losses at each level.

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

Another thing I hate hearing is "liberal and very progressive"
It's 2025 and that stuff is outdated. Everything and everyway is literally the same thing wheter it's progressive, conservativ. Because they all wants the same thing have, king unlimited oney buy everything including your house.

Now they making mainstream media news that it's AI Bubble justify to highjack the price of RAM.
Another excuse for inflation!

"here I thought the Trump administration wanted to border is up but nope"

Lol, you actually bought what he was selling? Let's see this week alone...

Yesterday he pardoned an international drug lord, while allowing the murder of random fishermen on boats. Remember drain the swamp? He pardoned a Democratic Congressman jailed for bribery just today, nevermind that fraudulent drag queen republican that was kicked out of Congress and imprisoned for their fraud. It's so petty they're picking fights on social media with pop stars while using their music, and even using Franklin the damn Turtle to cartoonify their murders.

You believed him!?!!

I've got some Trump $5000 bills for you, only half off.
