Harder to develop for, but not like working with the SEGA Saturn.

id Software co-founder and chief software architect John Carmack has said that the PS3 has more raw performance than the Xbox 360, but it does come at a cost: it's harder to develop for.

"Now the PS3 in particular, and this has been passed over many times over the years, but the core architectural decisions of having the cell processors versus additional symmetric processors makes life more difficult, unquestionably it’s harder to develop for those there," Carmack told Nowgamer. "You have to use a separate tool chain, the debugging is crappier, and all this. The upside of that is, there is more raw performance for computing there than there is on 360."

Still, despite being hard to develop for it's not like the days of working on the SEGA Saturn or the PS2.

"The PS3 is still far and away better than anything else that’s ever been made... except maybe the 360," he added. "It’s a great time to be a developer. It’s not like working with the SEGA Saturn or the PS2, where these are really kind of quirky, cranky, architectures that are not, well, architected, I would say."

So if people could be bothered, games would be amazing on it

Exactly :carling:

Meaning that the upcoming battlefield 3 would be more like the pc version

Hahahahah i am not a bf freak but if you like it im glad for ya:banhamma:

Im not a ps3 freak just stating the obvious to other members:carling:

I only go on xbox :shh:

Topic says ps3 is better.
I dont like xbox - I only would buy a xbox maybe if live would be free.
Because xbox connection is better

he is right ps3 games are hard to develop thats why ps3 users like me always get crappy ports
4 example:GTA4,Bayonetta,RDR,COD4,CODBO,soul caliburIV,etc.
ps3 exclusives like gow3,killzone2,uncharted,gran turismo,lbp,etc. are smooth and amazing too bad that they always take like 2 or 3 years to develop =(

They are both great consoles with pros and cons.

Great thought Flash
