PlayStation.Blog friends over at GamePro.com have written an interesting article on a topic Dave Karraker get asked about all the time - Is the PS3 harder to develop for than other systems? He gave them some feedback on this and the reporter, Blake Snow, does a nice job of presenting a well-rounded story. For this piece, I spoke to our PD group and asked them for input on this question and thought you might be interested in reading their full reply after the jump.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Grasshopper Manufacture's Shadows of the Damned returns this year with a remaster, and Hardcore Gamer got to talk with Suda51 about it, among other things...

Now where are the people who were arguing earlier about this?
I really hope they read and more importantly comprehend the article.
Down to 2 bubbles now?
I'm sure the ps3 fans will sort that out
Sounds good to me. It will get easier and easier to develop for and overtime i think we are going to see some amazing things. And i've already seen some at this stage so far!
If the PS3 is not harder to develop for, where are all the arguments that it will take time to unlock the power?
You can't have it both ways, Sony fans. It's either so hard to code for that you can't unlock its power, or you're coding just fine, and the PS3 doesn't have the muscle people say it does.
Which is it?
How we can go to space and moon ? Making a good game for PS3 is harder than going to space or moon ? dumbass companies just think about money and profit. They cannot make good games for PS3 and all they do is porting so that's why Xbox 360 looks better than PS3 but techinqly PS3 is better than 360.
Metal gear solid 4,Killzone 2, They Getaway, GT5 and many many PS3 exclusives show how other companies are lazy such as Nubisoft !
I think as soon as the AAA first party titles are released and the sales pick up, the third party developers/publishers see what can be done and will change their outlook on supporting the PS3.
