After confirming that the Mass Effect trilogy would not be coming to the Playstation 3, BioWare CEO Dr. Ray Muzyka commented that "the most important thing is quality, so we're never going to compromise that." Does that mean that developing for PS3 would compromise quality?
Here's yet another instance of nit-picking someone's words. While most 360 fans will almost certainly assume this is what Dr. Ray was saying (taking a subtle stab at the PS3), I think it's more than likely he just thinks starting development on Mass Effect for another console would be detrimental to the momentum they already have on the 360.
Then again, maybe he was ever so subtly professing his love for Xbox since BioWare was Xbox exclusive up until now. Who knows? Dr. Ray knows, but I'm sure he'll never come out and explicitly confirm anything. That's just not how BioWare rolls. They remain morally ambiguous and let you, the gamer, decide for yourself.

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.

this is excellent news i will be playing as commander shephard again on my powerful pc
I think he's just saying working on one console is always better in terms of quality. I don't think there is anything in Mass Effect that can't be done on the ps3 given the right developer.
im a little skeptical though about an EA game being exclusive for a further two games in a triology unless a serious wad of cash (an amount which would recuperate ps3 revenue in sales of the game)was thrown at them by microsoft
but if true and if the games are good thats a plus for 360 owners
hopefully the minimum requirements will not be too high because if i can play it on my laptop then i will be able to finish the game faster
i wonder if there will be a limited edition for the pc version i would like to have a mass effect poster behind my rig
