"We do not see the PC as the leading platform for games," Carmack added. "That statement will enrage some people, but it is hard to characterize it otherwise; both console versions will have larger audiences than the PC version. A high end PC is nearly 10 times as powerful as a console, and we could unquestionably provide a better experience if we chose that as our design point and we were able to expend the same amount of resources on it. Nowadays most of the quality of a game comes from the development effort put into it, not the technology it runs on. A game built with a tenth the resources on a platform 10 times as powerful would be an inferior product in almost all cases."

He more than most seemed to be "on the side of PC gaming" and clearly made his millions there. He has no need to cater to anyone else personally, but has done so anyway. Oh and yes, I realize this isn't breaking news... but it is disappointing none the less.
Once you get over that, anything Carmack or Newell or whoever says, is here nor there.
