Disclaimer: This is my opinion as to why the PS3 isn't being put to it's full potential. M-Y space O-P-I-N-I-O-N[/end disclaimer]Firstly I want you to compare the 360 exclusives to the PS3 exclusives. You will see the 360 has a couple more but if you pay close attention you will see that the PS3 exclusives have much, much, much more detail. It looks like the developers truly spent every minute of the day working hard on the game. Sure some 360 games are like that too but only a few really matter (ie Gears of War, Halo aka xbox money makers). I dont have a lot of knowledge about 360 games but if anyone can post a Adventure game exclusive to the 360 please do.
Now onto the main deal, the Xbox uses the same old crappy HDDVD discs you see when renting movies, it's hardware capability isn't all that good, and there's a couple more things I forgot. Now a PS3 has a more advanced hardware setup, has blu-ray/3D, has Full HD *FULL* (not sure if xbox has), and again a few other points I forgot. Now in a developers eye (ie Treyarch, Ubisoft, etc) what they see is this, "Let's make a new game thats cross platform and since the 360 has less hardware needs and such lets make it look as best at it can on it then port it over to the PS3 since it can most definately handle it and it would cost us less money developing a game on less intense console, who cares if it loses quality through the port we will still make millions. If we had to remake it for the PS3 aswell we would waste too much money.
So money, greed, and laziness of developers is at fault. Developers take the shortcut when it comes to making games and it leaves the community that should be being praised and all up on in the ruins.
Now I want to list a couple PS3 exclusives that really use most or all it's potential.
- Arceus of War 3 (Beautiful graphics) Adventure
- Heavy Rain (Nothing can describe it) Not sure
- Heavenly Sword (Released on the PS3's launch and for a initial launch title it was amazing.) Adventure
- Resistance Series FPS
- LittleBigPlanet (Another launch title that amazed everyone with all the possibilities in it) Platformer
- Gran Turismo (Legendary graphics, best legal racing game ever possibly made) Racer
I can list a bunch more but I think the point is made, if developers spent time to actually make PS3 games, because they aren't PS3 games, no no no, they are 360 games ported over to the PS3, then you would see a huuuuge percent of increase in the PS3 community. This is why I'm hoping that in the next few years when the Next Gen gaming starts I see a lot hard work coming from these devs and actually trying to get the PS3 fanbase to their side.tl:dr? scroll up and read you lazy piece of waste (jk if it is tl:dr gtfo
