While this difference is noteworthy (and may be because of technical issues), it is interesting how the OP talks about wanting to have the same experience on multiplatform games.

To begin with, it is not truly possible since different games use different controllers, making if nothing else the exact nature of the required hand movements to be slightly different. Other issues, such as the process use to map graphics or detect movement may also cause differences. In other words, these consoles can be like comparing a Mac and a PC -- very different animals.

But in this case, the overall experience appears to be approximately the same (especially if installed), so it is not a big case. This is not like different versions of the game being done by different developers such that one version is truly different and superior -- even though they are billed as the same game (e.g., NFS: Hot Pursuit 2 on the PS2 is much better than the GC/Xbox version.).

Ironically, when Activision took the "same on all consoles" approach when it made its Atari 2600 releases multiplatform, it was blasted for not upgrading the graphics or adding things on the newer/better machines. So this argument has been going on longer than many posters have been alive.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
