John Carmack thinks PS4 could be coming too soon

According to Examiner.com:

It’s rare to read news where a new adaptation of a product is actually considered a premature move for evolving a brand, but that’s exactly what John Carmack thinks regarding the PlayStation 4.

In an interview with EuroGamer [via Blend Games] John Carmack openly discussed his views on the current trend in developing new consoles. He commented that…
"The whole jockeying for who's going to release the first next gen console is very interesting and pretty divorced from the technical side of things,"… "Whether Sony wants to jump the gun to prevent the same sort of 360 lag from happening to them again seems likely. As developers, we would really like to see this generation stretch as long as possible. We'd like to see it be quite a few more years before the next gen console comes out, but I suspect one will end up shipping something earlier rather than later."

    This is way better than the other ps3’s. It is a lot cheaper. It has a better hard drive and it looks a lot nicer. It is smaller and lighter. It also kept all the other features of the ps3 except for the on and eject buttons which doesn’t affect anything. The controllers are still great(dual-shock 3’s). It has great games and it processes games quicker. This is the system you want it is fast, reliable, and looks good. Buy it and you won’t be dissapointed.

    Carmack has a really biased view of this situation. As a software developer, he doesn’t want a ps4 too soon because then he has to learn how to design, program, and optimize for the new platform.

    As a consumer though, personally I can’t wait.

    You need to be careful what you invest your money and time into. You never know what could be a scam.
