Hes just talking about porting games. Both systems will have strengths and weaknesses so making up for those will be a problem while going PS3>XBOX or vice versa.

Its funny that hes the one commenting on this since he made one of the most graphically unimpressive and unimportant games of the last gen:Guitar Hero.

Reminds me of this;

"One very fast central processor would be preferable. I don't think all programmers have the ability to program two CPUs — most can only get about one-and-a-half times the speed you can get from one SH-2. I think that only 1 in 100 programmers are good enough to get this kind of speed [nearly double] out of the Saturn." - Yu Suzuki

WTF triple post

a biased opinion: i think the really awesome programmers would rather not work on game programming. so no, not because programmers are lazy, but the better programmers would rather work on things more interesting and lucrative.

yes, there are some programmers doing it because they love it. but among those who love it and do it, not so many are great programmers.

again, just my personal opinion.

he more or less sounds like a pissy xbot... like "why the PS3 version pails in comparison.. and exclusives often suck" he doesn't even give examples, i know of a few but this isn't the majority. i remember some issues with some of the sports games(no specifics cause they don't interest me) and some of the "super" platform games, you know PS2/PS3/PSP/360/Wii, that had issues. most well developed ports/multi-plats like VF5, Oblivion, RS: V, GRAW2, and Stranglehold perform just as well as their 360 counterparts. as for exclusives, the only unanimous turd is LAIR, but it even found a groove in Japan, but most have been well received if not without their flaws. RFoM, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, and R&C Future have all been very enjoyable with no easily noticeable flaws.

the hard truth is that every console has some crap games, no exceptions. it has always been and always be this way...

i blame it on E.T. LOL

His main argument against the Cell is that it has multiple cores, and developers have a hard time maximizing the output of the multiple cores. The 360 has multiple cores as well, so I don't see how that makes much of a difference.

Also, the developes of GH1&2 never exactly pushed the limitsof the ps2 or the 360, so I don't think he has room to talk, especially with graphically stunning games like Uncharted, MGS4, KZ2, and CoD4 coming out on the ps3.

Pointless and irrelevant.

PS3 power has already been proven and shown in games, its capability is not theoratical its reality no matter how much you want to believe otherwise. 

Just like everythign else in life, the game indistry is full of mediocracy.  Failure of people their ignorance theyir inablity to understand something new is unavoidable.

Theres a reason why a handfull of developers are so highy thought of in the industry while the rest are not.

 The difference between the Cell and the 360 cpu being multicore is that the Cell cores are asymmetric. I don't know how the actual PS3 devkits work, but on the IBM Cell SDK there is a lot of manual effort required to efficiently distribute code to the SPE's, whereas on a symmetric core processor it can basically just distribute threads to any processor.

 Please look up Sony's PlayStation Edge tool kit they gave to 3rd parties at GDC.
