It's pretty obvious to me he's telling the truth except in one (very important I might add) area.... major PS3 exclusives do look as good if not better than 360 exclusives. See GT5P, MG4 and KZ2 for examples.

Major point he made (though it's well known) is it takes a lot more effort and resources to get the best out of the PS3 than on the 360.

 

As it's been stated several times, it's an OLD article (about 2 years old). Developers are now realizing that the PS3 isn't really hard to develop for. The tools are there for them now to make quick use of the Cell. The community has started turning around on their hard nose approach to the system. With Sony's independent developer program (they match the developer's investment DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR), developers have changed their view on these things. It's a new day.

Oh really?  Have any examples of developers that have gone PSN exclusive since this was announced?  Sure it has potential to help some very small developers, but as I said a while ago, with the bandwidth fees not applying to this "Development Costs covered" the gains up front are slowly erased to the point that they actual spend more on fees than they did on development, thus erasing any advantage.

I think most indie developers have taken the time to look over this very fact, which is why we haven't seen a rush of new PSN games announced in the last few weeks.  Xbox Live is still the place to make the most coin for an indie developer.
