On the other hand, if Sony hadn't released *shoddy* developer tools far too late for most games to launch with the console, Lost Planet would have probably enjoyed a simultaneous launch.
How quickly people forget... Dev tools weren't released until January of 2006 or something like that. You want to blame people for shoddy PS3 ports? Then point your finger squarely at Sony Computer Entertainment... They're the ones who decided to redesign the PS3 less than two years from launch, released dev tools late, and generally, fucked up every third party who tried to release a game early in the life cycle. For crying out loud, there were reports of mid-profile Western developers getting dev tools a little more than six months from launch, written entirely in Japanese. How the fuck is anyone supposed to finish a game with that kind of clusterfuck going on around them?
But, then again, it's easy to blame those "lazy" developers. No need to blame Sony for their multiple blunders since 2004, when they originally planned the PS3 as a dual Cell unit with no GPU...
