Sony: UBS Sees Trouble In Weak Performance Of Madden ‘08 On PS3
Posted by Eric Savitz

UBS software analyst Benjamin Schachter today noted that the blogosphere is “full post posts highlighting the relatively weaker performance” of Electronic Arts’ (ERTS) Madden NFL ‘08 game on the Sony (SNE) Playstation 3 compared to the Microsoft (MSFT) Xbox 360.

You can do your own comparison at Gametrailers.com, which has a video clip with scenes from the same running side by side; and I’d tend to agree that the Xbox 360 version looks cleaner. Here’s another side-by-side comparison.

“While discussions of frame rates and performance are not typically deemed important by investors, given Madden’s popularity, this is a more meaningful negative for Sony than investors may realize, and one more reason not to buy a PS3″ following the delayed shipment of Take-Two’s (TTWO) Grand Theft Auto IV, he wrote.
