This part is more interesting IMO. It only means that the PS3 is not an easy machine to program for, at least not developer-easy. We've seen what it can do with Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 though, once handled well...!

ooookkkk...

sooo...how'd you come up with that conclusion? coz when i break it down, i didn't ever get the idea or even a hit that it mentioned that the ps3 is hard to develop for...

lets break it down

"On the PS3, we don’t have a rich online system like an Xbox Live,

nope, no mention of  the ps3 being a hard machine to proggram for

 

and each title has to create its own online system features.

again nope, just mentions that developers need to create their own online features but doesn't mention it being hard to program for

 

But because we build from scratch,

maybe here? nope! build from scratch just means  that they start from nothing. nothing mentioned that the ps3 is a hard machine to program for

 

there are a lot of possibilities that are not in the other online games out there right now

or maybe here? still no. just says that because they can start from scratch the posibilities  that are not in the other online games out now are greater.

 

unless i'm missing something, please do point out where it says the "hard to program for" thing your claiming.

Hmmm? Why are you hitting me by the balls here?

I don't know if you have been following the gaming world news since the beginning of this generation, but I do recall developers saying that programming for the PS3 was not an easy job. I'm sure lots of people here can back me up with this, but I'm seriously not in the mood to look for many many articles about this subject. Even just going on Google is a pain in the ass! @_@

Now, about my statement... I only assumed it was about all this talk from before, and it only proved the point more? And besides, what he said wasn't bad at all. Like makingmusic said, look what some devs have accomplished with the different infrastructure compared to the 360's.

Also, how do we know if that's exactly what he said? It's the media after all. We can only speculate about the things we don't really know about. I mean, I'm not a developer (yet)!
