Xbox 360 Fanboy

the

Yep, given the apparent last-minute-ness of the decision, they probably don't have the 360 version up and running yet.

There may (and don't take this as fanboy bashing) be some compromises that need to be made for the 360 version. It's still up in the air, I'd imagine. They don't want to release anything until it's a proper indication of what the game will look like.

Any compromises that may be made because of space will be offset by the robust architecture and dev tools available for the 360.

PS3 = More available number-crunching power (AI, Physics, etc) and more storage (BluRay)
360 = Better architecture to better utilize its available processing power over the 3 cores, better memory footprint, better gpu, better online and system feature integration (Friends lists, chat, etc)

Each have their pros and cons, just the 360s often lead to visible and observable differences in games, where as the PS3s are more complimentary (Dont get me wrong, important, just not as front and center) differences. Take for example the better memory, sys architecture, and gpu - all of those translate into a larger environment able to be pulled off with less and faster load times (Faster DVD also helps this) with more detail and action all being rendered smoother and with higher fidelity. PS3 on the other hand while it may suffer FPS issues and such, they can offset the slower loads by mandatory installs so that while they cant handle as many textures and such in memory at once as the 360, they can at least load them quickly from the hard drive) and increase physics and AI response with less of an impact as the 360 version, granted, thats only if they arent utilizing extra GPU cycles to offset the physics and AI needs from the CPU... I dont know how far they are pushing and have pushed the 360s GPU or any of the systems architecture really... Not to mention "tricks" can be pulled to make any differences less noticable, for example on GTA4, using a blur filter instead of properly anti-aliasing the screen on the PS3 version made it less resource intensive but able to have a similar effect.

All in all I do find it humorous when people pull the "But, I dont want the PS3 version limited by the 360","The PS3 is more powerful than the 360","Untapped Potential", etc. I dont call disc space untapped potential, I call it overkill as processor speeds increase and loss-less compression improve.

According to Yōichi Wada, the game hasn't even begun PS3 development yet. Currently the engine is running on PC.

Ill be honest. DMC4 wasnt all that great. Once I got turned around and had to play all the levels as Dante I lost interest.

Also DMC is huge is Japan where the PS3 has a big install base. I would reckon that a large amount of the sales tipping point came from the land of the rising sun.

VGChartz is not accurate and is about as reliable as Wikipedia. Based on NPD numbers, DMC4 has sold more on the Xbox 360 than the PS3.

2-3 most likely. Maybe even 4 but it won't exceed 4. Lost Odyssey was 4 disks and i'm sure FFXIII will be a "bigger" game overall in terms of both content and more cut scenes. But Square stressed that they would use compression without affecting the quality of the game. Which makes sense since compression techniques have improved a lot over the years, including audio compression. Video is what will take up most of the games disk space anyhow.

Quote is actually accurate. Straight from Tretton.

If that's a comment directed to me, I don't get it.

Sorry Sora, that was for SlickRick

Because it's a first-party title. Yeah, Sony would be raking in the sales left and right, but also helping out the competition.

That exclusivity might have something to do with God of War III being developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Studios Santa Monica.

Yeah, not third-party.
