@billytech, it is simple. You have bad eyes. Take a visit to the nearest optometrist and they will have those fixed.

You wanna know why games on both consoles look better on 360??? Those games were created for 360 first..then ps3. Another thing, if you read the article, its about the difference between the two consoles when creating the games. So the technology and coding used to create the games for xbox360 is different oppose to the ps3, so re-creating a game originally for 360 to ps3.. is a new task for devs. It might be the easiest and cheapest way out but it’s also giving the ps3 a bed rep. A rep that even 360 fan boys know won’t last very long..once the long awaited ps3/PC only games come out.

How come UT3 is currently being made for ps3 and PC only?? Both those platforms have less restrictions then the 360 has, in terms of hardware and content. Also recently theres a rumor that UT3 is being cut down for 360 because of size, and gta4 designers said the 360 is limiting their designing ideas..and will limit the game i would think.

@used cisco: I’m really not a fan of debates on which console is better. Sure, there are people who hold grudges against MS for the 360’s problems, or folks who want to take shots at Sony for the pricepoint of the PS3.

What it boils down to, for me, is that with 3 consoles vying for our dollars, all 3 are driven to make better games, and better consoles. In a market like this one, the real winners of the ‘console war’ are the gamers.

So does this mean the PS3 is as easy to dev for as the 360 or the 360 is as hard to dev for as the PS3?

Either way I’m glad that this isn’t turning into a debate on which is better. That gets old fast. I”m sure they’ll both look and play great.

This validates what I’ve been saying all along. Very few of a console’s best games show up early in its lifecycle, simply because it takes time for developers to become familiar and proficient at maximizing their utilization of the hardware.

The 360 had a slight edge in this department because its hardware was so similar to that of a PC that people were already familiar with it. You’ll see great games from the PS3 once developers gain familiarity with its hardware.
