Pretty much any multiplatform game comming out on Xbox and either PC or PS3 is gimped by Xbox's capabilities. Be it either power or content limitations.

FFXIII had content cut out, Lost Odyssey 2 is having problems, GTA IV had them, now L. A. Noire can't fit on discs. And Microsoft is to blame, other platform owners are screwed because of this, since developers must deliver the same for everyone.

The worst impact it had on PC owners, many Xbox console exclusive titles come out on PC aswell, but they can't hold a candle to PC exclusive titles. Xbox is 5 years old, so this has to be expected, but games like Dragon Age Origins or Mass Effect are suffering from this.

is this a joke post? Gimped by Xbox's capabilities? Is that why 90% of multiplatform games run better on the 360?

If you'd care to notice, the main reason is Xbox's incapability to force HDD standart which would allow mandatory instalation so there wouldn't be single DVD limitations to games where it's not possible to swap discs on the go (sandbox, free exploration, racers). It has very little to do with the basic power.

And multiplatform games run better on Xbox, because developers don't bother optimizing the code for PS3 architecture.

I bolded the part of your post which is just completely untrue. No multiplatform game is "gimped" by Xbox's capabilities. Unless you have proof, don't make stuff like that up. In fact, many people try and say the opposite and claim that multiplatform games are "gimped" by the PS3. Both groups are lying.

When has multiple CD's/DVD's for a game ever been a problem in the past? The answer is never.

Also, forcing HDD installs would be completely STUPID for Microsoft considering the arcade version of the 360 never came with a hard drive. That would be like a slap in the face of anybody who ever bought their console without a hard drive. And on a side note, why would MS force installs when so many people complain about the fact that Sony does it?
