@ james

> how can sony say something like this when gears of war 2 has just been reviewed as being one of the best looking games of all time and the fact that fallout 3 on ps3 looks like garbage compared to 360????/?

Because McGuire is either self-delusional or is a pathological liar.

I have a masters in software engineering and a Phd to boot, but the best wisdom I can offer you here isn't technical. It's that Deadmeat is a huge and notorious troll from various other forums who you should pay attention to!

well I don't care who believes me you can look it up but all the games that are multi platform sell more on the ps3 despite the smaller fan base and that is one hundred percent fact you can look it up right now

then too bad that you didn't read that article that shows that most 3rd party publishers (including EA, Ubisoft, and other major ones) have stated in their newly released earnings reports that from 4th quarter 2008 onwards PS3 will account for most of their console income. that is just the facts...do a search or look it up on the developers official business sites.

who ever wrote that last comment in the article is a COMPLETE ASS SPEAKER!!! I have 360 and PS3... the demo looks better on the PS3. Better colors, and textures, and that is fact coming from a person that has both consoles... with HDMI.

Exactly, I speak the truth and you should pay attention to what I say like Lorcan is suggesting.

Seriously, no self-respecting computer scientist would even defend PS3's broken programming model, unless being on SCEI's payroll.

I dislike PS3 for one simple reason; this is the worst engineered piece of c*** ever, as self-admitted by Jack Tretton himself, President of SCEI America.

Read the words of former Sony 2nd pary programmer who programmed Heavenly Sword, nAo. Even he won't defend PS3, admits the vast majority of his associates hate CELL programming(I repeat, no programmer likes to code for CELL), and suggest that SCEI not reuse CELL in PS4 and start over from scratch if they actually wish to win the next time.

both systems are amazing and the fact is that a game developed on the ps3 is easier to port and comes out better for both systems. this isnt about which console you choose if both consoles benefit greatly. if my xbox games come out better because they were ported from a ps3 build so be it because in the long hall my overall gaming experience is going to see an increase. why divide ourselves among because of our choice in console when theres an option where every1 benefits. both systems do things that are wrong and right. Xbox live, developer freedom on the ps3, massive third party support for xbox, and the amazing first party titles of ps3. Differences amongst the consoles is wat builds towards a better future for gaming.

quote from Parapraxix
"PS3 was lead for Burnout Paradise, Mirrors Edge, UT3, Final Fantasy 13, Dead Space, Skate 2, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Dark Sector, Devil May Cry 4.

All of theose games that are released run amazingly on both system. Which cannot be said for games that were lead on 360.
PS3 as lead is the SMART thing to do. "

No, a 360 lead doesn't work as well because all the stuff they have to downgrade for the lesser PS3

why not make the game/s run at their best on BOTH systems? i owned all the systems each at thier own times so i know what it's like to have one system ruin all the fun for another. at least this way, it'll level the field a little more evenly between the two. microsoft is goin nuts on all these developers, geez! lol

CELL has been known to be a bit of a pain to develop for... but wouldn't the 360 be easier due to Microsoft being, traditionally, a software house? They create the tools to develop for it, like Sony, but have had a 30 year head start in software...

Personally, like other commenters, I don't care which one they choose as the lead dev platform, as long as I can still play games, and they play the same independent of which platform I choose to play on, thats what multiplatform titles are supposed to be. If they tune for one more than the other, then so be it.
