"Q: How do you look back at this point on the differences between the PS 3 and the Xbox 360?

A: You'll have a hard time if you port without having a PS3 game in mind when you created the 360 version.That is where a lot of complaints are coming from.

They [developers] created the 360 engine with a unified memory architecture in mind, with the embedded frame buffer with its advantages and disadvantages, and not thinking too much in early stages about multicore. If you try to get that over to the PS3, you're in for a bad surprise."

No unified memory (i.e. the 256 MB memory limitation on the PS3), and no embedded memory (lack of embedded 10MB framebuffer on the PS3), makes it difficult for developers to port from X360 to the PS3

"If you create first on the PS3, it is pretty easy to port it to the 360. A lot of companies coming on board now will probably start on the PS3 and move to the 360. The lucky thing for us is we didn't have to think about the 360 at all."

"yes we spent the last four or six weeks going through hell getting Lair into memory [when asked about PS3 memory limitation]. But then again, we were doing the same thing on Rebel Strike [a last gen GC title]" 

...The lucky thing for us is we didn't have to think about the 360 at all.

 I would say no doubt, not going to be ported.

The whole context you quote seems to be him talking about his experience with developing for both platforms with past games, not Lair.

Um... its published by Sony. :?makingmusic476

360 fanboys just got OWNT!!! PWNAGE!!!!

You know gears isnt coming to PS3 because MS is published it right? Same thing happens here with lair only this time is being published by Sony so it wont go to 360

the PS3, it is pretty easy to port it to the 360. A lot of companies coming on board now will probably start on the PS3 and move to the 360. The lucky thing for us is we didn't have to think about the 360 at all."

Uhh... how? Everyone but the TC knows Lair is a ps3 exculsive. Real Fanboy Pwnage is when DMC4 was announced for the 360.

Defnately PS3 exclusive. Not only is the publisher Sony but if you watch the videos the guy talks about all the Cell specific features they've added.

Also what he said there is a very good sign for PS3. If it's easier for devs to build games on PS3 and port to 360, PS3 is going to be getting the best multiplats across the board.
