VentureBeat: The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have a fairly comparable game library. Small differences do exist, though. Perhaps the widest gap is between the two systems’ digital offerings. That’s where Jenova Chen, Thatgamecompany lead designer (Journey), noticed a difference. “Sony has a more artistic and adult-focused taste,” Chen said in an email conversation with GamesBeat. “They care about how grown-ups feel toward their games.”

Just more adult artistic games like Heavy Rain.
Little Big Planet however was the biggest risk for Sony. Only they would have supported it and their faith was rewarded.
Each game was better than the previous.
As a PS3 owner, I want to see the absolute pinnacle of what my PS3 can do.. perhaps Crysis 3 will be the one to show us that.
This is one of Sony's strengths.
EDIT:
You're right. My mistake, I was thinking of another game. Fez will probably have to go multi platform to re-coop money like most XBLA games.
Couldn't be that they just want to make MORE money.
Limbo sold over 1 mill copies on the Xbox.
Braid was the #2 selling XBLA game of 2008 and described as "very profitable"
Fez has already done well for itself.
Quit talking out of your ass.
Even though he was wrong about the specifics about FEZ..... StrongMan's sentiment was pretty well on.
You don't see JOURNEY FLOWER or HEAVY RAIN going multiplatform, yet many games on the XBOX 360 do, including ALAN WAKE. I'd also be willing to bet one day FEZ does too.
You do realize Journey, Flower, and Heavy Rain are all Sony owned as opposed to games like Limo and Braid right.
If thatgamecompany didn't have that 3 game deal with Sony and released Journey do you think they will only limit themselves to one system? No they won't from a business stand point they limit themselves financially and from an artistic standpoint they limit themselves in terms of possible audience.
This is why Sony is smart they make sure to show the world that they're willing to fund this risky artsy games themselves at the same time making sure that it won't leave their system. This creates a situation that they have more known (and I stress the word known specifically) artsy games only on their system.
Journey is an incredible game, but lets not go overboard and make it seem like ps3 players drink champagne and crap in gold toilets.
@sword
The difference is I've been doing it since day one...swag!
Serious case of smug in here.
Lagavulin or Ardbeg Uigeadail.
And I've never liked the look of gold, I prefer platinum. Actually I prefer the look of nickel even more despite being such a mundane metal, but just try and find a sold nickel toilet :)
I'm not saying Microsoft doesn't support them. I'm just stating the facts.
Microsoft has been supporting indie devs fairly well this generation. :) It's a shame they don't do it more on the PC.
Obviously, Remedy wasn't happy enough with the unit performance of ALAN WAKE, and therefore turned the game into a multiplatform title.
The same cannot be said about Quantic Dream's HEAVY RAIN.
So why did PS3 users take to HEAVY RAIN significantly better than XBOX 360 users to ALAN WAKE?
Probably because there's at least some truth to this article.
Does Xbox have games such as Flower, Journey, Ico, SoTC or Heavy Rain? Those are the games that people refer as art, games that are more than a game.
I never heard anyone questioning if Fez or Limbo was game.
Journey was shallow, brainless crap that no self-respecting adult gamer would entertain - think Crash Bandicoot with the level design, enemies and challenge stripped out.
It didn't reach my ankle never mind going over my head, but that's the only way anyone can defend this game: "you just didn't get it".
edit: I'm even gonna agree with you. ^See^ there's my agree
There is an apple, one person sees beauty and yet you see shit.
No two can convince the other that he or she is more right than the other.
Edit: Forgot to add that both are neither right or wrong in their point of views.
I like TGC and their little arthouse games but people buy them on psn because THEYRE NOT ON xbl or steam.
More variety in games and artistry than PS3 and 360 combined.
And its also a flat out lie since check the top 10 selling games on PS3 and 360 pretty much filled to the brim with COD and other shooters.
People USE YOUR HEADS. They make money of games not in the top 10.
I know i will never stop all the fools from saying this line but hell if i could stop just one.
Top 10 DOES NOT MEAN MANDATORY FOR SUCCESS.
Please stop.
I will say this article is jargon and people who believe it for anything but conversation material may be a little off.
Its been picked at to such a ridiculous level we have fanboys fighting over who is more artistic as a notch on their fanboy belt.
Also if people actually read the title they said 'PS3 owners more likely' not condemning every 360 owner. I mean be truthful. People keep using XBL games as reference but would you guys really have brought as many units of Heavy Rain as PS3 owners did for $60.00? Would you have brought Braid and Fez if they cost $60.00 no matter how good they were? People brought Journey, a two hour game, for $15.00 because it was pretty and was one of the highest selling games on PSN.Can you say you would do the same if it was on XBL?
Like NeoBasch said we are just more used to games that step outside the box. No one is saying anyone with a 360 would never like games like this, it's just that we like them more.
