Forums - Sony - Developers Starting to back PS3

To the guys talking about how "wrong" the article is, at least read the whole thing. From the second page:

Yet it was July this year at E3, with hundreds of half-finished games under the one roof, that the shift became most apparent. I didn’t spend a whole lot of time down on the show-room floor as I had wall-to-wall booking behind closed doors with the developers themselves, which makes my observation all the more pertinent. Here individuals talked proudly about their product and then thrust a PS3 controller into my hand: this was new! And I’m talking big games too. Not to say that the X360 was forgotten… not at all… but the ratio was more of a 50:50.

Developing with PS3 as the lead platform = commercial suicide

So that's why EA has said that PS3 will be their lead platform?

Because the 360 can handle any multiplat developed on the PS3.. unlike the PS3 which seems to struggle with 360 ports.

It would be more accurate to say that developers are the ones struggling with 360 to PS3 ports.

You finish your project and suddenly you're told you need to reegineer the whole process for a system that relies heavily on a parallel architecture and naturally you're going to spend a lot of time and effort on it.

It's imagine our video, sound, and physics components of game as water, sugar, and koolaide powder.  It's much easier to combine them into one if you have the separate pieces than it is to split them out after combining them.
