You know, the PS3 may be stronger on paper and has certainly shown its worth in a handful of exclusives. But in terms of multiplat games, they are at best on par between the PS3 and 360, with the PS3 version usually being slightly worse than the 360 version. And when comparing exclusives, games like Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 do settle at the top, but there is not a huge difference between them and 360 exclusives.

That is why I believe that neither the cell or blu-ray have shown real benefits to gaming this generation. If the 360 hadn't been leading the way for HD consoles, things might have been different, but they are not. In the current state of affairs, saying that the benefits to the cell and blu-ray in the PS3 do not outweigh the drawbacks is perfectly reasonable.

to be fair, multiplats on the PS3 has been pretty damn good in the past year or so at this point(a few even look better) so that's not exactly much of an issue at this point other than the BS that's SEGA with Bayonetta, and it's really sad when you think on how far SEGA has fallen on the dev side, sigh....

They have been good, but when the 360 still has the upper hand in some form or the other, it gets hard to see the benefits of the cell or blu-ray.

cell, not as much on the game dev part, yet, blu ray however, the benefit is pretty large imo, more storage doesn't hurt dev for the most part, the jump from cartridge to cd to dvd to blu ray have all been needed jumps imo and it's always helped.

Oh really? The effect is barely noticable as far as I can tell, with the only real upside being fewer discs for really large games. For most games though, the DVD seems to do just fine.
