Newell: PS3 Is A Waste Of Time

Valve co-founder Gabe Newell has always been a PC guy, never was a big supporter of consoles. But he apparently really, really hates the PlayStation 3. According to Gabe, the PlayStation 3 is a total waste of time:

Absolutely. I think [PS3 is] a waste of everybody’s time. Investing in the Cell, investing in the SPE gives you no long-term benefits. There’s nothing there that you’re going to apply to anything else. You’re not going to gain anything except a hatred of the architecture they’ve created. I don’t think they’re going to make money off their box. I don’t think it’s a good solution.

Uh-oh. Gabe better prepare for the inevitable avalanche of hate mail from PS3 fanboys.
