Please provide the source, since last time I check, Ted Price doesn't develop on the PS3, so How can he possibly know? Gimme some multi-platform developers saying so, and there's the little fact of having Sony THEMSELVES say it...what was Sony's agenda in that?

they asked ted several Q: about development on the PS3..notice his Answer's
here from Capcom:
Resident Evil 5 Producer Masachika Kawata has questioned the idea that developing a PlayStation 3 version of a multiplatform game is significantly harder than developing one for Xbox 360.
But he insisted that PS3 was far from the programming nightmare some commentators have styled it. "The PS3 is often said to be more difficult. As someone developing for it, though... I haven't found it to be too tough."
This may, however, have more to do with the flexibility of Resident Evil 5's engine than the nature of the platform. "With our proprietary engine, the MT Framework - it's an engine we specifically made for development on next-gen consoles - one of its particular strengths is ease of porting to different platforms."
pretty much what TED PRICE talked about
Notice ted refered to thing's like middleware, engines made for the hardware you are developing for
It's interesting, since Capcom just announce Lost Planet 2, as a 360 exclusive...M$ must have paid ALOT of money to keep it so. The game pushed 1.84 million on the 360, vice 410k on the PS3...and given that it's reported that it normally cost 10% more to produce multi-platform...the exclusive tag on Lost Planet 2, is a real head scratcher, and it was quite a surprise.
I looked over the Price article, but once again, he's got NO experience in multi-platform, so he's not a realistic source. Just like I wouldn't given much credence to Bungie saying, 360 is easiest to program for. After Insomniac's first multiplatform or 360 exclusive, I'll give his comments more credit. Also Kawata said it's not a nightmare, not that it is jsut as easy...not the same statements.
Capcom has not announced Lost Planet 2 as an Xbox exclusive. They have refused to do so. I think the only thing exclusive about Lost Planet 2 is the announcement. It is most likely multi-platform. Capcom has already stated they are multi-plat this gen.
