Development Issues......Deja vu anyone??

I am nuts or don't I remember abunch of complaining back when the PS2 first came out about development issues? I know that the original PS was supposed to be a breeze to develop for (remember, every game used the same cheesy 3d engine) and then when the PS2 came out we read about the dev issues...

They obviously figured everything out for the PS2, I am sure when they unlock more of the PS3 cell's power we won't hear anything else about it..

Remember, it took sometimes 5 years before some consoles saw there best stuff....

Wow. That was a very poorly written article.

Great find, just what I was talking about!

That was a great read. I also like what John Carmack had to say about the ps2. I believe he said pretty much the exact same thing about the ps3 a few weeks ago.

Looks like history repeating itself (either that, or these "video game experts" just rehash and retell old stories because they come up with anything new.)

Edit: John actually made the comment about the ps3 around May 2006, so it wasn't just a few weeks ago.
