And I'm saying, your opinion is stuck in the 1990's. John Carmack was very excited about both the xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii. He's just not excited about the next generation because, in comparison to the most recent generation, he believes we're at diminishing returns for having more and more powerful 3d graphics. Which is exactly why he's taking VR headset development into his own hands.

http://www.ripten.com/2011/08/14/john-carmack-thinks-the-ps3... "His keynote lasted more than 90 minutes and throughout, you could clearly tell that John had become a fan of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console"

He was also excited about the innovation in the Wii remote controller, and the Wii is what he plays with his kids.




We still know next to nothing about the nextgen, nothing has been said about it, who knows what he'll say once they show the nextBox and PS4?
