because versus was announced to be using sixaxis i dont know how they would port that over to 360 other than kinect, which might be able to reproduce what ps3 controllers can do.

the only thing i have seen sixasis do is in killzone where you could twist the wheel... its kinda pointless and more of a gimmick that i have noticed. Nothing else I have played seems to use it.

your experiences with sixaxis controls are irrelevant (and limited to say the least), if sixaxis controls are necessary to play the game then a port to the x360 will be quite impossible as x360 doesnt have this functionality; we'll call this a hardware limitation.

in killzone they could make it into a push the x  button 50 times, but in other games where all buttons are already mapped to an action and you use sixaxis to, say, throw grenades then thats a game that cant be ported with grenade throwing intact.  an example is folklore which makes good use of sixaxis and would present some pretty big problems if there was ever an attempt to port it (which there wont be)

now of course if folklore were to be developed with the x360 in mind, they could have cut functionality and made the game work, but it wasnt. versus, like folklore is being developed for the ps3, and the first step to porting a game to another console would have to be making sure the other console isnt hardware limited, if it is they either have to cut everything out thats limited by hardware or find a way to make it work with the hardware limitations, both can be pretty tough on development
