I cant believe you wrote "THE NILE"  :eek:

I did it on porpoise!  I swear!!!1

Indeed... who ff-ing cares...

It\'s not about the maximum power factor.

It\'s about development dedication and that being doable + profitable.

Hideo Kojima\'s team is only 1 single team.

They devoted lots of money,time and effort into specializing in Sony\'s hardware.

It took \'em a year, 2 years after MGS2 SOL on PS2 to do an Xbox port, which was pretty crappy.

So, there you see it ; it\'s on PS3 and not on Xbox360 becuz Kojima\'s team is only able to focus on PS3 hardware becuz of time and specialization. No doubt, that IF they had the time and money, they could also make the game work on Xbox360 & being profitable.

THAT\'s all there is to it, really.

man it\'s awesome how this thread got derailed

almost like a normal forum

The whole "who cares" stems from the fact that while it CAN run MGS4, it isn\'t. What it "CAN" run, doesn\'t sell the system. What it is running, is the product that can is being sold and in this case, it\'s the gurantee\'d blockbuster hit, MGS4.

Just a simple comparison of what the systems can do is what it is. No harm in creating a new topic considering the lack of traffic this forum gets.

It\'s not like I wrote an article saying the PS3 is doomed.

But that\'s still missing the point.

bezier curved surfaces on PS3 are bezier curved surfaces on Xbox360.

HDR lighting on PS3 = HDR lighting on Xbox360. etc

Yes, even though probably the gpu calls differ alot (thanx to Xenos\' uniformed shader units), the graphics techniques are still the same graphics techniques.

The x performance MGS4 is pulling on PS3 right now, or even final code, is probably doable on Xbox360 too, with about the same types of graphical bells and whistles.

It is justa fact that the dev code & specialisation behind those graphics are only doable and profitable at a time on one console. Taking the fact in consideration that Kojima\'s team is PS2 dev savvy and they\'ve needed all the time they had to create this trailer on PS3, they\'d need another year or maybe 2 to create the same on Xbox360, profitable.

meh

This was towards the people who used it as a shield.

I think people care not for the fact that MGS4 could have been on XBOX360 but to the fact that people can expect the same quality in games that will come on XBOX360.
Its a matter of future expectations really.

Sony fanboys are gonna be prettAAAY-prettAAAY-prettAAAY upset when REAL PS3 footage starts dropping and it looks no more next gen than what the Xbox 360 is offering at the time.

I have not read or heard one third party developer say that the PS3 was head and shoulders above the x360 in graphical capabilities. They all say that the performance should be pretty much the same across both platforms.

heh I kind of have the impression that Sony skrewed theirselves this gen

Bullshit.

We have no actual PS3 gameplay to compare to Xbox360\'s, we\'ve only seen PS3 trailers and PS3 final specs are not yet final and certainly not yet publicised.

Alot of ppl are just hoping it will turn out less becuz they already preordered their
Xbox360.

That also is true
