The word of a developer with a track record of PS3 and 360 experience of ... zero. Shin'en is as close a third party developer could get to be first party. What with having only developed games for Nintendo platforms since its creation in 1999.  I'd be really surprised if he ever got his hands on a PS3 or 360 dev kit.

So you'll excuse me if I don't take his comments as anything other than cheerleading PR.

The PS3/360 are known inside out by the whole world by now, you don't need to have made games for them to know their capabilities.

Shin'en don't have a history of lying. They do, however, have a history of performing great technical feats across a range of different hardwares.

 

Seems a bit silly, the whole idea is that these developers have a lot of experience on the platforms so they know best, but then why should we trust them for comparisons with platforms they've never touched or released a game on?  I wouldn't ask Naughty Dog what the Xone is capable of, and I wouldn't ask these guys what anything non-Nintendo is capable of.  


yeah, for one thing, they never mentioned the actual power, just that it's more advanced, for all we know, they could be talking about the innovation on the Wii U, which would be more opinion based. Nobody has really tapped into it yet though, that's for sure, the transistor count is much larger than the 360/PS3 to start with, the question is just if the devs will ever bother.
