An Ex Guitar Hero developer blogged about, how development for the PS3 is much harder than it is for Xbox 360.

In his blog, he attributed the difficulty to the PS3s architecture in terms of memory ( where PS3 has less available memory than 360), as well as lower fill rate (how many pixels it can draw in a certain amount of time) of the PS3s Graphics Processing Unit which according to him is half as fast as the Xbox 360 one, which forces the developers to create simpler shaders and run games at lower resolution to achieve the performance of the Xbox 360. he also commented on the speed of data fetching off the blue ray disk, which seems to also take more time than getting it off the Xbox 360 DVD.

all of the above leads him to believe that PS3 is going to lose this generation war to the 360, cause so far there aren’t any killer games out, and since the PS3 isn’t selling that great there is little incentive for developers to put in the extra effort for developing exclusively for the PS3.

I think he is being a bit out of touch here, PS3 is still relatively young, and it isn’t really selling that much worse than Xbox 360 did in the first year of release, granted Xbox 360 has some KILLER games this holiday season, and to an extent it is better priced. but as soon as PS3 starts getting better titles we will all start to feel the power of its incredibly devoted following.

Be that as it may, I still love my Xbox 360 and it truly is an incredible entertainment machine.
