Carmack - 3DS/NGP could be the last round of specialized gaming platforms
“The smart phone may turn out to be 80 percent as good at gaming as a dedicated gaming platform. People are going to carry their smart phone, and if it’s an 80 percent gaming device, how many people in the gaming market will be satisfied with that? That’s the question that’s in everybody’s mind, and I really don’t know. You don’t always get to build pyramids just because you want to.” - John Carmack
