yea maybe he should have said, "yea, you know youre right. You're correct. multiplatform games do peform better on the ps3." Good article destructoid. its starting to look a lot like joystiq in here.

as someone with both a PS3 and 360 (i am a billionaire), even if the tide is turning a bit and multi-platform games are starting to shine on the PS3 i am still more likely to purchase those games on my 360, both for online play and (pathetically) achievements.

if a PS3 version of an upcoming multi-platform title is said to blow the 360 version out of the water, i would probably go PS3 but i don't see that happening for a while, if at all. it costs so much to develop a game that most game developers just aren't going to sink that much time into making a multi-platform title that maxes out the PS3's specs and the 360's specs respectively.

and, even though the article cited in this post had nothing to do with the MS exec's quote, i will add this about the game libraries of the two systems. the 360 does have more games (obviously) and better exclusives right now, but three of its strongest and most popular titles—halo 3, bioshock, gears of war—are shooters, shooters, shooters. i just finished playing Uncharted on the PS3, and loved it. a ton of fun, and genre-wise/experience-wise there are no 360 exclusives i can compare it to. same goes for ratchet & clank. and warhawk.

and some of this year's upcoming PS3 releases, including LBP, EchoChrome and, to a lesser extent, MGS4, only reinforce and build on that diversity. i can't think of a single 360 exclusive announced for 2008 that strikes me as being as exciting or original as any of those. of course all three of those titles could turn out to choke on a dick sandwich, but i do appreciate the effort.

I really can't argue. The PS3 and Wii have their moments, but the 360 is definitely in the PS2's position from last generation, though not anywhere near as successful.
