Sony kicked 'yo ass foo!

Your inroads thing is clever. Only that's not what's happening.

Instead, your typical developer is like 'fuck this, I'm coding for a system that makes sense,' ie, computer, 360.

And yeah. MGS4 will look better than Gears because it was specifically designed for PS3. Your typical multiplatform game, on the other hand, looks better on the 360, is more stable, and has better DLC support. A big part of that being that the PS3 sucks ass to code for.

Look at Fallout 3. Almost visibly identical and the 360 version is way less glitched (which is hilarious, because it's still horribly spotty). You get fewer instances of the dreaded "guy fell through the rail in Megaton," for example. And patches have been released quicker and more frequently. =x

The whole 'progressively better' thing only would have worked if anyone actually cared enough to push the machine along. Only very few developers do.

Bottom line is there isn't nearly enough money in it versus projected and actual cost, so people are either pulling out entirely, or just basically playing lip service by releasing what is essentially a 360 port of whatever game to PS3.

Corporate arrogance is what allowed the PSX to overtake the N64 back when Nintendo was legitimate and also an unstoppable juggernaut, and the same thing is what's killing the PS3.

Ultimately, sales don't lie. Developers need sales and sales are better in the 360 camp. Even if the machine is a piece of shit, that's just the way it is.
