hehe, from that article.

"But hey, when it becomes clear what the PS3 is capable of, gamers won't really fancy playing PS2 [games] anymore..."

With the few exceptions of music games and going back for nostalgic purposes, he couldn't be more right.

But seriously though. That was an article about sony france. It didn't even say one thing or the other. Plus they were french! The CEO of Sony France was probably too busy painting or having sex with a hairy girl during the interview to really pay much attention.

Okay, now, THAT was just retarded.

PS3's a powerful system, but it's not for everyone. This is true. Buying a PS3 is a matter of personal choice, and everybody's entitled to their opinion.

"You suck 'cuz you dun't agree lawl" arguments are lame.

Game developers are trying to make money, not choose sides in a non-existant war. They're going to do whatever it takes to get the most money out of their products, whether this means developing a game exclusively for "X" system or making multiple versions for "X", "Y" and "Z" systems. Take, for example, Capcom's decision to port Resident Evil 4 to the PS2 after all the hype that it would be a GameCube exclusive. They didn't do this because of some personal grudge against Nintendo or anything, they did this to make more money by catering to more gamers than just those with GameCubes. This is the same thing.

Whether or not FFXIII or any other third-party game loses its system-exclusive status is irrelevant to its developer. They're in it for the dollar, and they'll do what they have to in order to get it.

EDIT: I love you, Dreyvas. XD

CaptLtrl, if you continue the attacks against other members then you are choosing your own fate. You are the only one attacking, and not listening to the responses.

As far as the development process and such for games, we have several game programmers in this community that work for major companies like EA Games. When they say that working with the PS3s hardware is absolutely horrible, I tend to believe them.

As well, it has been said by developers that trying to utilize the PS3s memory is like trying to push the atlantic ocean into a small balloon. A prime example of this relates to Oblivion, a game that has a ridiculous amount of of downloadable content. The PC version, and the 360 version are able to handle running all the content at once, no problem. The developers had to decide what items they would include for the PS3 version, because they were unable to get even HALF the content to run at once. The PS3 has the same amount of memory as the 360, but it's apparently a bitch to work with. That's been the same for every sony console release.

I know I'm personally buying a Wii and a 360, as it has the games I want to play. The only game I would have wanted to play on the PS3 was FFXIII, but even that looks to be hitting the 360.
