Game Informer - In previous generations, the console you bought was the same console you'd have years later. You could buy add-ons or accessories, but the core system and the way it operated never really changed. It's a completely different situation now, as the console in your living room is most likely an entirely different beast than the one that sat on store shelves at launch. The ability to update hardware via the internet has extended the typical console life cycle, and we decided to take a look at the changes that the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 have gone through since launch.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Why do I get the impression that some sites actually want to drive a wedge between 360 owners and PS3 owners?
Wow, I just read that "SHORT" attrocity of an article. I mean, that's IT? That's all you cover? REALLY Gameinformer?
nice looking headset from sony. should i have got one but i already got a spare bluetooth headset.
Come on this isn't July anymore games are actually out now.
Hits, Hits, Hits its what its alll about.
EDIT: This is interesting
"PlayStation 3 Then: Launch PS3 Consoles were backwards compatible with Ps2 and Ps1 titles."
Sony Now: knew there was tremendous demand so they come out with HD remakes every single year so they can profit off of it.
HD remakes/ BC is more popular on the PlayStation then the Xbox by far.
FROM ARTICLE
"Sony made headlines when they announced that the 60gb model of the Playstation 3 would cost $599.99 at launch, making it one of the most expensive consoles in history. A 20gb version with less features was also available at launch."
BS... the PlayStation 3 was NOT the most expensive console in history.
Sorry for the picture quality. Both the Neo-Geo and 3DO were higher priced at launch, and the picture also shows adjustments for inflation to show a comparison of launch $$$ vs 2012 $$$. This is common knowledge among up gamers, and gameinformer is big enough to not make such simple mistakes.
