EA Explains Slow PS3 Madden

Electronic Arts attempts to explain why Madden’s game isn’t as fast on Sony’s console. Apparently, it was simply because the developer, EA Tiburon, was more comfortable and knowledgeable about working with the 360.

"In the case of the next-generation consoles, many publishers have been developing titles for the Xbox 360 for over three and a half years while everyone who publishes now for the PlayStation 3 with the exception of Sony has been developing for the PlayStation 3 for only a little over one full year.

"The differences in the overall knowledge of the hardware is vastly different for both consoles and, as is the case with newer technology, it is very difficult to get it right the first time."

Madden NFL 08 is the second game in the series to appear on the PS3.
