Actually @ your other comment as well. I would suspect that in the future all multiplatform games will be equal to a fault between the two systems. As a couple of developers have said on B3d, they don't want any negative publicity. If one version is better then the other version is worse.

Then it would make sense that they don't provide such publicity themselves. Multiplats are rarely equal. Even when they are "equal" there are pobably differences that are beyond the human senses. However, the fact remains it's in a developer's best interest not to mouth off these differences by themselves.

Gabe Newell can "badmouth" the ps3 since he has no stake in it but here we have ID's boss "badmouthing" a version of his own game.

Unfortunately the flip side of this is that any such closing off of information tends to leave people who are interested in the development process in the dark. Theres an important difference in bad mouthing a platform and giving a blow by blows account of the trials and tribulations. I don't see how hes exactly badmouthed the PS3 when hes said explicitly that on release both versions will be par.
