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.  

I wouldn't ask Naughy Dog about Xone either, beause it is unknown new hardware. The PS3 and 360, however, are not.

Naughty Dog actually did comment on Uncharted 2 not being possible on 360. (http://gamer.blorge.com/2009/08/29/naughty-dog-uncharted-2-not-possible-on-xbox-360-only-ps3/) And you know what? I believe them. The 360 had been out for four years and thoroughly and publically explored, it was a known quantity, even to devs who hadn't made a game on it personally.

That's just where we're going to have to disagree then.  I would never trust an exclusive developer when they talk about the capabilities of a platform they have no experience on.  At the very least you have to admit they have a vested interest in making the platform they exclusively develop on look as good as possible, and the same would go for Naughty Dog.  Based on that and the developers not having experience for themselves on the platform to know its capabilities I think any comparison they make is useless.
