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.
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.

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.
