Valve has not excuse not to develop for PS3 anymore. And using "the PS3 is hard to develop for" hasn't been valid since like 2007. Infinity Ward proved you can make a game on PS3 just as good when Modern Warfare was identical to the 360 version.

And you also can't say its not worth the effort. There's nearly 26 million PS3 owners now and could be as many as 28-30 million by Jan 1. Its only 7 million behind the 360 and that gap is shrinking every week.

2007 you say? GTA4, Fallout 3, Bayonetta, and other games have been deemed inferior to the 360 ports. I believe its also more expensive to make PS3 games given its more difficult to program for.

The PS3 just had a huge price drop so ofcourse the gap is shrinking. Bear in mind MS has yet to even respond, sales are still strong, and they are making profits.

I never heard GTA4 was inferior but the other 2 yes. I'm saying its possible to make PS3 ports as good as 360 games it just takes some effort, something a lot of devs don't seem to want to put in. Any time a multiplat game is worse on PS3 then 360 I'm going to assume the developers are either bad or lazy.
