Is every 360/PS3 game possible on both 360 and PS3?

As we all may know, fanboys/fakeboys have been stating the countless "this can't be done on 360/PS3" statements over and over about their console exclusives. However, is this actually true? What do you think? Do you think the systems are very similar that anything that can be developed on one of them can also be developed for the other?

I think it depends on how the games are made. If they rely too much on one system's resources or format, then it may not be entirely possible on the other system. However, I don't have any proof of this, it's just a prediction.

So, is every game on either of these consoles possible on both of them?

some ps3 games simply cannot be played on the 360, but all 360 games can be run on the ps3PlaystationGrad

The PS3 and 360 are not that difference in terms of power. In some ways the PS3 is better in others the 360 is better. But when you get to it they are the same.

He is from the Internet he does not have to prove anything.

All ps3 games can be made on x360 and vica versa

there is simply nothing that one console have and other dont that cant be "replaced" by some other component (example blueray = few dvd's)

I would imagine the PS3 to be better than the 360 in some operations and the 360 to be better than the PS3 in other operations due to their different hardware architectures.

I do not know if it would be enough of a difference to make some software simply impossible on the other system, but I imagine that said software would require tweaking to be as close to equal on both systems.

Both MS and Sony would like us to believe that all of their exclusive games are only possible on their respective consoles, and a lot of fanboys buy into that.

wouldnt u agree that the developers are in a better position to make that "claim"?PlaystationGrad

If a development studio says "this game can't be done on 360/PS3" what they really mean is either "we don't know how to do it on that console the same way we did it on this console" or "we don't really care to put this game on that console." The first one is relatively easy to fix: they go off and figure out a different way to do it, or they hire someone who can do it. The second one is usually as a result of market, legal or business-interest factors and as such is really hard--if not impossible--to fix. Generally, studios usually imply the second meaning, because the first meaning would imply that they're incompetent.

wii sports cant be done on any of the other consoles :|

Yes. No matter what Sony's first party devs and cows here may say, all games can be done on both platforms. Sure there would be a few differences (for example the 360 can handle better textures but the PS3 has better processing power) but they would only be minor. So far in console graphics it goes Killzone 2 > Gears 2 = Resident Evil 5 (360 version is slightly better looking, but the difference is negligible, unless you actually own both copies and look for the differences) I think the PS3 has the best graphics in Killzone 2 due to the talent of the developers, the amount of time taken to develop the game and the funding it had.comeonthehoops

Too bad we're not talking about the Wii.

To me, the only biggest problem I see between games on the 360 and the PS3 is the size (EX: MGS4).

[QUOTE="PlaystationGrad"][QUOTE="XanderZane"] Aaahh.. no. Every game that has been made on the PS3 could be made on the XBox 360. Some may need an addition DVD or two, but otherwise, they can easily be done. Developers who claim it can't be done has never tried or has never developed for the other system. It goes both ways. All XBox 360 games could be done on the PS3. It might take 6-12 months longer, but it still could be done. XanderZane

Well the PS3 console looks nicer, and pushing the "on" button is more enjoyable. If that makes a difference....

What you should have done was created the poll and put the only 2 choices as "I dont Know" and "I think i know, but really dont" because i am almost certain that none of these people know the answer.

There is no game on either console that couldn't be made, with all features intact, on the other console. Both consoles are absolute beasts, and there is no current game that taxes either console enough to make a full-fidelity port to the other console impossible. The real question is whether the developer has the inclination, skill and resources to make the game at full fidelity on both consoles, and the answer to that is tricky because the devil, as they say, is in the details.
