Over at GameDaily they’ve got an interesting interview with Sid Meier, the man who civilized the PC.

A couple of quotes:

Sony’s done an amazing job of establishing a quality standard and delivering on systems’ promise. Look at the calibre of titles we’re suddenly seeing from machines like the PlayStation 2 – the company takes a long-term view and really focuses on delivering amazing hardware right out of the box

Look at the level of content you’re seeing on current-gen systems right now in the form of games like God of War II. Remember: The PlayStation 3 is light years ahead of this technology. As with any new platform, it’s going to be a challenge and take designers some time to come to grips with the hardware. But believe me, you’ll be amazed by the possibilities.

I’ve always held that any system with a standard hard-drive and high-capacity disc system is going to better than one without. That’s not even touching the difference in processors. So, like all great minds in the industry, Sid agrees with me. I’m sure we’ll be hanging out on a patio, drinking mojitos in no time. Sid, call me.
