Something Sony and Microsoft fans have to really think about......

This is very important, so pay attention! :idea:

Publishers in the future will NEED not want...NEED to keep the games they fund and market up to par with competing games graphically. Comprende?  They will naturally gravitate towards the Playstation 3 as it is the superior hardware and port down to the 360, because the 360 will be limiting the games too much graphically to continue supporting the 360 as the lead platform any further.

The only reason some 360 Multiplatform games theoretically have looked better on the 360 is because the PS3 1 year delay, publishers and devs decided to go with the 360 as target and port down to the PS3.  The future this wont be the case and heads will roll when Playstation 3's superiority starts to shine through on Multiplat titles like it already does with First Party titles.  When all the important games start as PS3 target platform like Burnout 5, Resident Evil 5, GTA IV, Army of Two....etc, Cows will Rejoice and Lemmings am Cry to sleep.massAttack2k

I actually think it is a good thing PS3 becomes the main platform. It is hard to make a game from the 360 work on the PS 3 because its gpu is inferior just like last gen.

Then why were 99% of multiplat games last gen made with the less powerful PS2 as it's base console? There goes your entire argument. You fail at life, so seriously considering ending your ownosusfaith

why in the world would developers make the game first for the system that's the most difficult to program for when they can make the 360 and PC version in tandum at roughly the cost of making one game? Point is, developers won't create their games on the PS3 first. It's not cost effective to do so. Thanks to the XNA developer tools that MS offers, developers can create one game for 2 platforms at the same time. That cuts their overhead cost and doubles their profits by letting 2 different sets of gamers have access to the same game.Nedemis

One other flaw in your arguement, the whole power lie not-with-standing.
Developers will develop for the platform that has the largest installed base first. They have no loyalty, as they care about money! That is what they make games for. So their main focus will be the system that has the most out there so that it has the largest chance of selling well.
Power makes no difference at all in their decisions. That is why the PS2 had such great support. It had the largest install base by far.
And so far, this gen, its the 360 with the largest installed base.

And for yout info, the PS3 is averaging 500,000 units sold a month since launch. The 360 in its first year averaged 667,000 units a month from November 2005 - November 2006. So no, the PS3 is not on pace to out-do the 360 in sales.
Do some research before you post things please.

One problem, the PS3 is not stronger hardware wise then the 360. The GPU is actually weaker. The CPU is stronger, sure, but the GPU is weaker. The game with the better graphics is the game with the better software.Manly-manly-man

if they need to keep up with the best hardware, then why didn't they ditch the ps2 for xbox, since xbox was more powerful.rocktimusprime

• The console with the largest user base is the one that developers make the game on and then port to other systems.

• 360 graphics are currently > PS3 graphics so I don't get why you say the 360 would hold devs back. The PS3 is what's holding devs back and that's why PS3 has lost so many exclusives.

• Why port down when you can port up? If you port from weaker to a stronger system there shouldn't be any problems or sacrifices whether as if you port from a stronger to weaker system you have to cut corners and water the game down.

Is this guy serious? :lol:

You obviously didn't learn anything from last gen with PS2 did you?

so kinda like 2mil compared to 10mil right

so again by cow logic the 360 will be getting the lead
