...I already said before Sony has deep pockets and there are a lot of people that wouldn't mind wooing them and getting some of those funds.
Worked for Rockstar for years.

I wouldn't be suprised if it is true, but it doesn't stop me buying the 360 versions, especially as the PS3 controller is pants.

"Randel says that the PS3 could handle "double the amount of objects on screen."
Hey Randel, could you explain why no PS3 game multiplatform or exclusive has had anything other than minor visual improvements over 360 games? (Uncharted looks great, sure but it does not have that much more going on than any top 360 game)
I could throw in a "I own both consoles so I'm not a fanboy" but that would be so cliché.

Uncharted was a beautiful game, no doubt, but I think it's interesting to point out that it had more texture popping and other anomalies than PS3fanboy's favorite target, Mass Effect. I own both systems as well, and the graphical differences between the systems is negligible. If I get Ghostbusters, it will be on the 360, as all my multi-platform titles will be (except Soul Caliber). For the record, I own 17 or 18 360 games and 2 PS3 games (only one that I actually play). 360 FTW

I call BS. If it was really that much of a sacrifice why wouldn't they just scrap the 360 version?
How is it that a game like GTAIV runs pretty much identically on each system, yet Ghostbusters is being held back by the 360? Somebody is in Sony's pocket.

they would want to keep it on more than one platform so that it would make more cash.

I'll believe it when I see a PS3 game actually do it. No PS3 game looks any better than some Xbox 360 games, and every multi-platform game plays and looks worse on the PS3. In the case of GTA IV, both the game, and the online, are broken.

Ok first of all, so what
second of all
just cause you can throw twice as many characters or enemies on the screen also implies that they should be doing different things, which means that either the game is gonna be to easy, or way to hard, and if they are all on the screen then they should have different engines thinking for them (u know AI stuff and programming) and if thats the case then the extra processors are gonna have to handle that, and if you are gonna pull that off the system then that means u are gonna have to install off the hard drive because the blue ray wont be able to give info fast enough to the 7 processors because it cant spit info out that fast which means that you are generally turning your machine to a pc since it cant handle the reading off the disc, which means that your hard drive capacity is gonna get lower and lower and then people are gonna have to take stuff off of it to play new games and then if they want to play the games they took off they are just gonna say forget it because they dont want to install it again and it creates a vicious hate cycle iwth the ps3 and ....u know what, forget it
Ill stick to my 360
give me GOW3 and FFX3 and ill be on my way.

Makes me wonder how Virtual PC software is making any headway if one processor can't do more than one job at a time.
Oh, wait, they CAN if you know how...

< --- character? LEARN HOW TO USE IT.
I'm not going to even bother reading what you said because it looks like it's just one massive 20-30 line paragraph, which is disgusting.
That's the rest...

You still failed miserably at ranting. An you have to be REALLY talented (read: stupid) to do that.

Why not finish the PS3 version first and then adjust the 360 one?
It is odd that no other developer so far has made a major stink about this, but whatever. Considering the PS3 came out a year later, cost more and was supposedly going to amaze me at every turn I'd hope it would have better versions of games like this.
