No offense meant to id’s John Carmack, but his recent comments about the “next console” indirectly led to this short post. Which is this: Why the hell are we talking about new consoles when the present ones, outside Nintendo, haven’t even remotely demonstrated anything “new” outside of polished graphics? Seems very GOP. Just pretend the old mistakes don’t exist, and then launch something new to take their place with pomp and circumstance and a big ol’ Mission Accomplished banner in the background.
