There is simply not as big of an incentive for developers to learn all of the tricks you can do with the Cell when the X360 is a much easier and better alternative. For multiplatform games, it has become clear.

What's funny is all these Sony Fanboys complaining about the devs not putting in the time on the ps3 version are tools. these same people were most likely the same people saying MS fans were tool when they said things like "Devs are just not putting in the time on the xbox version". i was one of those people calling XBOX owners tools so it's only fair that i bring it back to the other side.

Man i just hope all these comparisons keep this gaming industry going strong. i would hate to see next gen end up sucking simply because both sides got the fat cat disease. it seems MS has been on this mission to own the gaming industry but how will they react now that they are there remains to be seen. also how will sony react now that they have slipped some. will they fight back or walk away.

these are valid questions simply based on each companies corporate history. MS has a history is getting that disease and not pushing the industry further while sony is known for folding when things don't go their way.
