Straight from Kotaku's Department of Redundancy Department, we summarize a post on 1UP summarizing an interview on Firing Squad about Duke Nukem Forever's progress... or lack there of.
3D Realms' CEO Scott Miller took the opportunity to enthusiastically mention that, despite the game being a decade in the making and still unreleased, a sequel to DNF was already being planned. Hey kids! Start holding your breath.... NOW!
He also has this beautiful tidbit about how Microsoft made a mistake getting into the console market:
I said from the beginning, back in the late 90's, that Microsoft made a business mistake getting into the console business. And from a profit and loss standpoint, that has certainly been the case — they've lost well over a billion dollars, enough to sink many Fortune 500 companies. I still think it's a business mistake for them, detracting from their core business strengths (Windows and business software). But, from a personal standpoint, I'm definitely glad they're in the game, so to speak, because despite their loss my company gains tremendously by having another platform to exploit. I hope IBM and Intel also come out with consoles, it would make just as much business sense, after all.
He hopes that IBM and Intel make consoles so they can fail as spectacularly as he thinks the XBox did. People — this is martian moon man logic we're talking about here.
