I have read dozens of developer interviews where they want the consumers to know that the PS3 and 360 versions are graphically identical. If one system can make the game look better, then why not let the system do it? Lets look at "Game A". Lets say the PS3 can have twice as many obstacles than the 360 version. Why cut back on the PS3 version to make it identical to the 360 one? The same is true if the 360 looks better. Are they afraid that they will lose sales if one version looks better? Are they afraid of making Sony or MS mad at them? Don't cripple it just to make it the same. If one system has an edge, then let it shine. I believe in the future, as developers get used to programming the PS3, this issue will become more important. Just let the games shine as brightly as they possibly can, don't cripple them please!
Just my thoughts.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Financial incentive to make them the same.
If one purely outshines the other they currently lose about a 1/4 of their predicted sales that a multiplatform would carry (another 1/2 are people with both platforms and the last 1/4 would not have bought it anyway)
Duh..
but it has to do with microsoft paying multiplaform developers behind the scenes, like the incident when microsoft paid rockstar 50mil for DLC and no one knew, so you have much validity in this post.
the only reason these games are being made is to make money. any other reason is b.s. so more and more games are going multiplatform - more systems and users = more money.
but if one systems game is really lacking compared to the other, it will just be a mess and look bad for the developer. look at orange box for ps3 - should have been a top selling game along with cod4 but was plagued with issues and therefore sold like crap.
in today's console war, exclusives are the best judge of what a system can do. it's stupid to compare multi plat games on ps3 and 360 - none of them will ever push the limit with either console just because they have to be playable on both.
"as developers get used to programming the PS3, this issue will become more important." why cant people just make an article without trying to make a flame war
