Sure, whatever dude The "I have a friend in the industry, and they said such and such" is something commonly used in SWAndYOU
I've interviewed a number of developers that say exactly what this guy is on about. None of them want to go on record though, because it sours their future financial prospects with Sony and their hard-to-develop-for platform. Even if the guy in question is fictional, it is well known that game developers view PS3 game design like pulling teeth. One developer told me earlier this year, "Working on the PS3 version [of our game] was like getting blood from a f*$&ing rock." It's common knowledge. Read Todd Howard of Bethesda, or Gabe Newell from Valve's comments on their experiences porting games to the PS3. They aren't afraid of spoiling relationships because they're so big in the development community, Sony can't say no to them no matter what. Why do you think the PS3 version of Fallout looks worse and won't get the DLC? The PS3 isn't exactly a developers dream come true.

I see no proof, but lets asume it's true what he said.

1) Xbox is indeed easier to code, but PS3 being difficult to code should not be ignored. Lazy Devs = stupidity and starving for easy money.

2) if he said that if it wasn't for the publisher they wouldn't port to PS3....WTF? That's like saying "we don't like money"

3) We have seen that if you put enough time you can release great games (Uncharted for example), and you will get eventually used to code for PS3 and get better and find more efficient way to do it.

I have no idea, but devs are being affect the by the "Lazy Dev" Syndrome. They need a lesson.

Some of my favourite games this generation were released exclusively to the PS3 so I could really care less.

by "proof" i mean i have a friend who has a coop job this term at a game developer in BC who has told me a bunch of stuff I didnt know about the gaming industry. I can't disclose the developer as if anything got back to the company he would be sued. I dont wanna be a dick

- most game devs HATE the PS3. Its unecessarily difficult to program for. Something that would take an hour programming for 360 will take days for PS3

- because of such a big install base,,, developers always strive to make the best possible game they can for the 360, and try and port it as best as they can for the PS3 afterwards. If there's any graphical inferiorities or glitches in ports, its because they have such a difficult time programming for the PS3 and has nothing to do with the PS3's inferiority.

- If they weren't forced by their publishers,, they wouldnt bother porting or developing for the PS3 at all

- the 360 is the unanimously preferred console by all multiplat developers.

Before anybody even attempts to call me a lemming,,, i dont even own a 360, and have been labelled a PS3 fanboy around here. Im no fanboy, i just bought what I consider the best console, If M$ didnt have such crap hardware and free online I wouldve probably gotten a 360

You said you had proof in the title, and yet you provide nothing but your own opinion, and have no links with validated studies to back up your massive claims. In short, you lied.

yeah I agree with this. The ps3 is probably harder to work with but seriously, I have yet to see a major problem with that. As long as they release great games, you wont hear any complaints from me.

Thats because M$ paid for the DLC, and not to do with anything else
