Except that THIS particular game developer released one of the MOST demanding PC games in its day... a game that had high-end gaming PCs --> WITH MORE powerful CPUs and GPUs, and FAR MORE system RAM than either the PS3 or 360 have... and those PCs back then and the hardware quite sometime after Crysis was released were unable to run Crysis at 60fps with EVERYTHING for the game set to the highest possible settings.
Why can't you accept that each system has pluses and minuses vs...
Were ALL of THESE - misunderstood too?

Funny that you say the above... tell everyone what Sony's trophy system brings to games that is all that different from Microsoft's achievements?
Do trophies --> UNLOCK --> in-game cheats and unlocks over and above anything that achievements do?
BTW --> The main idea behind BOTH --> achievements and trophies are to do things "above and beyond" the base game. Do you even understand what you're talking about?
Also... there are MANY ex...

I hope you have --> OTHER parameters, for claiming a game is an --> AAA Title - besides the review score alone.
Is a game like --> Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 - an AAA Title just because it has an averaged review score of 90?
What about Braid?
Portal: Still Alive?
There's more to calling a game an AAA Title than just the scores it receives.
If Flower, Comet Crash, or Super Stardust HD had average scores of 90 or high...
According to ex-Bungie developer; Christian Allen, Killzone 2 could "totally be done" on the 360 if Guerrilla wanted to."
"The tech is there, if the team and the publishers were motivated, they could do it, just like Halo could come to PS3 if MS didn’t own it. It really comes down to console exclusivity. The tech differences between the PS3 and the 360 aren’t all that much; it’s really about the delivery of content."

Errrr... Shadow of the Colossus has a 91% score at metacritic.. and the metacritic score is a weighted AVERAGE of review scores from various different sources.
Each movie, game, book and album featured on metacritic.com is assigned a METASCORE, which is a weighted average of all of the scores assigned by individual critics to that movie, game, ...
Previously - the PS2 outsold the PS3 for many weeks in Japan too... heck, even the 360 outsold the PS3 in Japan a few weeks. So chuckles all around...
Yeah - riiiight....

... Previous map packs for Gears of War, and paying premium prices for the option to get those when they first released or WAITING - and getting them for FREE afterwards?
Same with Resistance map packs... initially they were premium purchases via the PSN store, and later on they were offered up for FREE. Was Sony and Insomniac ripping off the people that bought the map packs when they cost money?
LOL --> While you're at it... how about we take Japan out of the equation then?
Better yet... let's remove ALL gaming markets from the equation... YEEEEEEEEESH!
... because of Japan "only" game releases.
Everyone knows that the Japanese market sees many many games that never see North American or European releases. Capcom could certainly make some of those PS3 games just for the Japanese market - YES?

BTW - the PS3 enjoys sales from all three of the major gaming markets vs the 360 sales in mainly two of the three major markets... so for the 360 to still outsell the PS3 worldwide, even with the price difference, is still an accomplishment. Isn't the more expensive PS3 the home console with all those extra features included vs the 360 after all? Don't forget all those P...
Errrr... what about the effect of PS2 sales on PS3 sales?
You musta forgot about that possibility...
Wasn't already on the disc.
Capcom Vice President, Christian Svensson said:
"Keys are 100K or less. It is not a key. We have said in the past, it uses assets from the disc (like levels, models, audio, etc.) but the code is new and does not exist on the disc."
What's to stop Nintendo or Microsoft from --> dropping <-- the price on their consoles as well?
LOL --> Epic does have more than ONE development department.
