Its a good thing that they make it identical.

Another reason why developers like the 360 over the PS3. Its easier to make games for it and usually are as good as the PS3 if not better. MS are geniuses while SONY isn't.

Yes, it does.  We've already seen better looking simutaneously released PS3 multi-platform releases such as Dirt, COD4, and Soul Calibur IV.  Because PS3 EA sport games were not up to par with their 360 counterparts last year, being of the same quality is the step in the right direction as proven with the titles previously mentioned.  Different developers are at different levels of development for each console.  It's nice to see progression being made.

Well, as I mentioned before there is Dirt (Codemasters), COD4 (Activision), and Soul Calibur IV (Namco).  If it wasn't worth the developers to back the PS3 regardless of any perceived reasoning, these developers would not be doing.  Something has to be keeping them going.

Skeeuk said: EA says 360 and PS3 Tiger Woods 09 graphics identical By Wesley Yin-Poole - 29/07/2008 - 6:10pm GMT http://www.videogamer.com/ Took 'great pains' to work on PS3 and with Sony. There will be no graphical difference between the 360 and PS3 versions of upcoming EA sports game Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09, EA has confirmed.

Good.  One less game to argue/debate on who has better graphics.  Just from that statement alone, VGChartz will be saved from another pointless thread in the near future.

 Soul Calibur IV doesn't look better on the PS3 though, and neither does COD4 for that matter...Not sure about DiRT but thats prolly untrue as well.

 Then we just have to agree to disagree.
