LMFAO

what a list only two games worth anything the rest crap no one has ever heard of, do most even exist seriously do they. Just who the hell is making them ?

might as well champion angle rings as a massive PS3 exclusive to counter that crap.

360's shovelware trumps ps3's shovelware. Sorry, the ps3 is doomed.

All I can think of is Super Rub-a-Dub and there's a couple of odd games on the PSN. I'm sure there's more. I guess from that stance the PS3's shovelware is owned by Microsoft. :/

lol i can imagine greenberg making a press release about it.

"we got more shovelware, so then we shall win this generation!"

I think alot of that list are just PS2 games being ported to 360. Porting from PS2 to 360 albeit not ideal is very doable, but doing so to the PS3 isn't probably worth the effort. It's a completely different kettle of fish to comapring a 360 game to PS3 port or whatever.

Also with that list, alot of those games take me as random 'scraps' of E3 lists which then never exsisted, got canned etc.

But yeah, we really don't have any true source on porting costs. I work part-time in the gaming press and have got to chat to a few PR's, developers etc. From what I picked up 10% used to be the porting estimated figure but since then it's dropped as engines are refined and game developement caters for both consoles from the off. I've no doubt there are examples where it's turned out much higher and much lower though.

The Assassin's Creed lead tech guy person said it cost less then 10% to port, but I can't for the life of me find the link to the interview. That's about the only internet source I can find on any estimate of the costs.

But yeah, no one's going to ignore the PS3 if they want to maximise profits...
