Why do people still use "The Ten Year Plan" excuse?

I agree with most of the points you have made. I, too, was one of the people who thought PS3 is way more powerful than Xbox 360, but now, if you ask me, I'll tell you that till this day, every PS3 game is possible on Xbox 360, I think even Killzone 2/MGS4 is completely possible on Xbox 360, without any lose of quality.

But the fact of the matter is, I believe Sony's software developer are more capable to optimize their platform than Microsoft to their platform. So far, Sony is the highest quality develeper of this gen, and also, remember that 90 percent of other devs games are using Unreal Engine III, while SCE Studios need to create all these engines from ground up to the most complex platform. Now, that aside, I think from what we have seen so far, PS3's power is vague, but like I said, it's up to game developers to take advantage of the platform. and Sony has this covered.

 

That's a smart observation and it points out a fact often overlooked around here: both the HD consoles are complex beasts and these days how good the game will look is more related to the tech budget for the project, the artistic talent and making smart decisions.

While I wouldn't go as far as calling SCE the highest quality develeper this gen, they sure know how to make things look pretty.
