GRAW 2 delayed for PS3; Are we seeing a pattern here? photo

Well, maybe all those developers weren't lying: the PlayStation 3 is a bitch to program for. The latest delay casualty for Sony's mean machine is Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, which was originally slated to hit all major platforms around the same time. Time to strike the PS3 from that global launch list:

... Ubisoft announced their Q4 lineup for the 2006-2007 fiscal year. Mysteriously absent from that list is the PlayStation 3 version of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. The Xbox 360, PSP and PC versions of the game are all listed. Ubisoft informed 1UP that the PlayStation 3 version of the game has not been canceled, it will just release later than the Xbox 360 version of the game. 

It's OK Sony fans, some day a developer will get it. We're all just gonna have to be a little patient. All we can hope for is that once devs do understand how to program this thing, they'll unlock a helluva system.

Online will probably be better on 360 anyway. And when I say "probably" I mean "without a doubt."

Its like PS2 vs XBOX 1 all over again...except the other way around, and Sony has the brand awareness that xbox didnt have.

Developing software to adequately make use of two processors is really quite difficult. The ps3's cell has eight. I'm really not convinced developers will ever be willing and able to make anywhere near full use of such an architecture when they could make a game that looks just as good for the 360, which has a more powerful graphics card and they're really the crux of how good a game looks. Obviously, that won't hold for japanese developers(unless something seriously shifts for MS over there), but seeing as japanese developers prefer stylism over realistic design, I think the best looking games this generation will probably come from the 360.
I distinctly remember sony saying the ps2's graphics would blow our nuts right off also...

Reach for the stars, and you'll at least reach the moon.

At least, that's been the story for Sony this far.

Except the moon is mediocrity in the console war.

However, I honestly think Sony can pull something off in a year or so.

Demoting Krazy Ken was a step in the right direction.

See? I can make space consuming one sentence paragraph posts like Lezbro!

I agree with Brad Drac. This is effectively a reciprocally dooming situation:

The PS3 is too expensive and has few good games so people don't buy it
Thus, the developers don't sell enough games to make up for the higher costs of programming for the PS3 because not enough people have PS3s.
And back around again.

Yikes.

People still think Ken was demoted? Man, ignorance really must be bliss, I'm thinking of converting!
