UK, July 30, 2008 - Sony's PlayStation 3 could soon be the lead console for multiplatform titles – and the Xbox 360 versions will benefit as a result, according to comments from Sony Computer Entertainment America's Scott Steinberg.

"As the third parties begin to move their development to native PS3 and port down to other platforms, they'll start to see their games' fidelity getting better and better," Steinberg told gamesindustry.biz, "and in fact I think even Xbox 360 games will start to look better as a result."

Steinberg continued to justify his beliefs by citing Criterion's recent Burnout Paradise, which led on the PlayStation 3. "[It's] a great example of a game that shipped fairly recently that showed what you can do if you start originally on PS3, and we've seen and heard more of that from our third party publisher relations group. As they realise that if you start on the PS3 other platforms look better, it starts to become a no-brainer."

i also belive as time goes by ps3 will be the lead platform, and surely soon enough ps3 will lead over 360 in total sales, the question is would 360 games look better if ps3 has been lead.

i believe ps3 can put far more things on screen than 360 can, therefore if the game is developed on ps3, they could easily port the game over to 360 cutting out 7.1 audio and cgi etc etc. and still have a great game. thus making games look better on 360 that it origionally would have done.

at the moment many developers are developing with dvd and a less core basic spec in mind, if they were developed with bluray,cell and hd in mind the games could be better.

any differing opinions?
