You might be thrilled with next gen—er, current gen. But John Carmack, ex-id Software star programmer and Oculus Rift guru, isn’t yet. He thinks we can still do more Yono all app with last gen. “The 360 and PS3 are far from tapped out in terms of what a developer could Yono all app do with them,” he said, speaking to Wired on the occasion of Doom’s 20th anniversary. “There’s so much you can still do on the previous console generation.

The decision to leave users of low-end systems behind, Carmack said, is something he “struggles with to this day.” Kotaku commentariat, what do you think? Did the industry move on too soon?
