CryTek Says PS3 and XBox 360 Not Good Enough for Crysis

We’ve all seen the super-realistic in-game footage, and we’ve all hoping that it would be a superb indication of what to expect for next-gen gaming. The thing is, game developer CryTek has opted to skip the next-gen consoles and just stick to the PC for their upcoming alien-themed shooter Crysis.

The question in everybody’s mind: Why?

Well, CryTek finally released an explanation. CryTek’s Bernd Diemer had this to say, “next generation consoles like the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 do not offer the sufficient power.”

It’s still debatable if this is just some form of spin from CryTek to help market the game, or if it really is an indication that the most expensive video card out there can still beat your next-gen console. What do you guys think?
