In 2007, a lot of great ps3 titles were delayed or ported? This really isn't a good thing. Lets go look at the strongest consoles of each gen: the xbox this console was not really paid attention to for any other reason except for halo 1 and 2. this console was hard to develop for since it was more like a pc than a console. gamecube this console was strong and had maybe the greatest graphics last gen. but developers probably had a problem developing for it. the ps2 this was the easiest to develop for her. anyone could make a game on it!!! it may had the weakest graphics but games still looked good on it. notice that the strongest consoles always had develop problems therefore games got ported or cancelled. the n64 would have gotten final fantasy 7 like it was supposed to. but high development, hard development, delays and everything caused it to be brought to the psone. i don't want this to happen to any consoles. (especially the ps3. 2 games already got sent from the playstation brand to microsoft and nintendo which is ace combat 6 and monster hunter tri!) the wii and 360 are easy to develop for. wii's tech is easy to handle and so is 360's but ps3's is not! this could mess it up in the future! final fantasy may end up on 360 or back with nintendo like the olden days!

The Playstation 2 was not easy to develop for. It took quite a while for developers to get used to the tech.

ps2 was not easily to develop for, it just became danm popular because of the sales and total consoles sold.

I didn't read your complete post but as far as I did read, I saw a few errors.

- The Xbox was overall the console with the most capable hardware, not the GC.

- The Xbox was the easiest console to develop for because it featured a PC-like architecture.

- The Ps2 was the hardest to develop for as it featured an alien architecture

- FFVII didn't release on the N64 because it wouldn't have fit. It took 3 CD's and I don't even want to calculate how much cartridges it would require.

I was gonna say that PS2 was the hardest piece of hardware to work on due to the Emotion Engine, but others beat me to it. Also let's take a time-travel:

Saturn was harder to develop and more powerful (than PSX) and lost.

PS2 was harder to develop for and smashed the competition (while being the less powerful).

PS3 is the hardest to develop for and the most powerful one. 

Another Saturn? I don't think so, but only time can tell.

@Teragen

At least 20 cartridges

"wii's tech is easy to handle and so is 360's but ps3's is not!"

LOL another professional analyst.

ps2 seemed so easy. i bet i could have developed a great game on it if i was a developer compared to on a gamecube or xbox where i would be confused!

If I remember the biggest N64 cartridges were 64MB. That would have been like 50 cartridges.

 its pachter =(
