PS3 games and the lack of 1080p

We're rapidly approaching the 18 month point and the PS3 has yet to demonstrate anything dramatically better than the XBox 360 (and it is rapidly losing ground to the PC);

Less than 1 year here in Europe, I think the PS3 is gaining ground. A game like Unreal Tournament 3 specifically designed for the PC is already performing remarkably well on the PS3. Let's wait and see what the Crytek team is able to achieve on the PS3.

But the exclusive games is where you will see massive gains, because the PS3 is very different from other platforms. One thing to note though, a huge milestone blockbuster isn't built in a day, for example the original God of War took 3 years to complete.

Games developed on 360 using 3rd party middleware, those devs often don't possess much low-level insight with regard to the PS3 architecture. Rein stated some UT3 levels could already run in 1080p on the PS3 and they are still making enormous gains, according to Epic 1080p UT-like PS3 games are feasible, not bad coming from a company pushed to spread the Microsoft gospel.
