Gabe Newell, of Half-Life Fame: “PS3 is a Total Disaster”
Blogged in Consoles, Games by Matt on Monday January 15, 2007Gabe Newell, founder of Valve, made it all to apparent of exactly what he thinks of the Playstation 3. In an interview with Game Informer Newell made it quiet obvious what he thinks of the Playstation 3.
“The PS3 is a total disaster on so many levels, I think It’s really clear that Sony lost track of what customers and what developers wanted.” Newell continued, “I’d say, even at this late date, they should just cancel it and do a do over. Just say, ‘This was a horrible disaster and we’re sorry and we’re going to stop selling this and stop trying to convince people to develop for it.‘”
While I’ll agree the PS3 has been a total disaster in terms of price, performance, and game availability, I wonder what makes Gabe Newell have such strong feelings, considering his company is a renowned developer. All reports have mentioned thus far that the PS3 is much easier to develop for then the PS2. I’m sure over the next few days we will here more on this little outburst. Gabe also mentioned that he “loves everything Nintendo is doing” and predicts they will have over 10,000,000 Wii’s in households. Who would’ve known Gabe was such a fanboi?
