What I've said can be reached by a very simple logical conclusion. While the first may be theorycrafting, the rest is fact. If you can't grasp the very basic concept, that utilitizing the full power of one platform is allways better than meddling around on two, trying to make them both the same "ammount" of bad.
Everything is guesswork unless you can back it up with bulletproof claim, which you can't in any case, unless we are talking tautology.

There is nothing to grasp. You're assuming that technological improvements will lead to better games, which is wrong. Yes, improved technology can help make better games, but it is never guaranteed. I thought Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was better than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, despite MW2 being technologically superior (and that's before we consider the gimped multiplayer on PC).
Assassin's Creed 2 wasn't better than the first game because of the technology either. There weren't many technological changes from the first game to the second, the tech was in many ways the same from the first game but optimized and with some additions. What made AC2 better was the gameplay changes, and the tech changes had little effect on that.

Eh? I was talking about technology from the beginning, even retard could deduct that better tech doesn't equal better game. But I was trying to say, that when you have possibility of making a game, with certain mechanics etc etc. it's better to make it exclusive and utilize the hardware to the max, than to make it multiplatform and limit yourself.
This had nothing to do with designer standpoint or game mechanics. But if those are solid, exclusive game will be better than the same game, but made multiplatform. I hope that now we are clear, it was misunderstanding all along it seems...

No, there wasn't a misunderstanding. My point was that the technological benefits of being exclusive are extremely minor, and will do little to enhance a game. Yes, going multiplat brings some limitations one way or another, but the only real limitation to the 360 compared to the PS3 is the disc space available. Everything else can be worked around with a bit of effort.
