You know why though?

Because the PS3 is hard to develop for. If the develop on the PC and port, the PS3 version would require tons of extra work to get the frame-rate, and textures up to par.

If you develop on the PS3 first, it's easy to port to the more user-friendly systems.

Anyone claiming they develop on the PS3 first because of profits or favoritism is ignorant and/or lying. Even if EA said it.

 

On the contrary, profit is exactly the reason, and you outlined that in your post.  Profit is (gross - expense), if you recall.  Dev costs/time is one of those expenses... one of the larger ones, for that matter.

 

Ah, so true. I actually meant the argument that since PS3 makes more money for EA, they get the "privilege" of being lead platform, which is just an ignorant argument.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
