Know what else can store higher res textures? Multiple DVDs. Shove that in your pipe and smoke it. Only time will tell if the Ps3 is actually better. |
And do you know what costs publishers more?
Developing games that can't fit on one disc.
You do realize that there are additional licensing fees for each DVD a game uses, right? That factors into a developer's bottom line and is a legitimate concern. Since they can't very well charge extra for a game that requires multiple discs, they have to eat the cost.
There is no penalty for using more resources when developing for the PS3 by contrast. Most developers don't take advantage of this, but this is not to say that some developers, who are feeling the squeeze of the DVD won't.
