Legendariske superprogrammeraren John Carmack (Doom, Quake, Rage) säger i en intervju med Industry Gamers att det är oundvikligt att mobiltelefoner snart är mer kraftfulla än dagens konsoler.
"It's unquestionable that within a very short time, we're going to have portable cell phones that are more powerful than the current-gen consoles", säger Carmack.
Han fortsätter: "People have exaggerated the relative powers - the iPad2 is not more powerful than the 360. It's still a factor of a couple weaker. But the fact that it's gotten that close that fast - that means that almost certainly, 2 years from now, there will be mobile devices more powerful than what we're doing all these fabulous games on right now."
Är konsolernas framtid hotad med denna utveckling, eller spelar det ingen roll? Eran gissning är lika god som vår.
