Despite the PC versions having much higher hardware demands,

Nope. The PS3 blows computers away in the 'difficult to program for this hardware' sector.

server loads

For online games, maybe, and if it were true it would only prove that there are more people playing PC games, which would completely contradict everything you have said about profits.

and security systems

Again, Dragon Age--Disk Check OR standard online verification (if you bought it that way). No other DRM.

Where did it rank for steam again for two weeks after it's release? Top two. Not even the top ONE spot, both the top spots were taken by different versions of the game.
How about D2D? Yeah, the same.

Oh what's that, EA? You say it's a triple platinum game?

Without any expensive security measures?

What you are saying does not jive with reality. That is the problem.

Don't get me started on Starcraft Beta. People have been waiting for this for years and the line is going to be out the door for it.

I mean, if we honestly asked Square which is harder to program for, which would you believe in regards to FF XIII?

I'm pretty sure that it was for Sony's machine hands down.

----------------------------

I'm not entirely a PC fanboy. I just like Steam. So yes, I play a lot of TF2. It's a game that isn't all that hard to update and does rather well for a 3 year old game. Let's not forget the HUGE fervor over Activision's decision to not have any dedicated servers for their fans. Braid was also a PC game before it became a staple in the Xbox lives game room. All of these games are hugely prevalent in the PC market which, in a way, influences the console market.

What you're basically saying is that the PC game market is dead, which isn't true at all. Ubi's example should tell us something. It's alive and it won't be ignored.

Hot diggity damn! A console vs PC fight is just the kind of spice this forum needed! Here's hoping for sexy consequences.

Can we do Apple vs Microsoft while we're beating dead horses?

oh yea my bad, its been so long I forgot about that flaw with the PS3. Their processor forces companies to program from scratch.

Bring your own stick, roast, and marshmallows. Krylo's a cheap bastard.

Um, not really? If you look at job openings in game companies, a lot of them say to know how to program for the Wii and 360. The only major difference between the 360 and PS3 is that the PS3 uses OpenGL, which is universal, where the 360 uses Direct3D, which is Microsoft proprietary. The code is apparently quite easy to port.

I beg to differ.

If you program on the PS3, you can do it for the 360 or Wii. Sony makes money off of the games. but the full potential of the PS3 has yet to be explored because it's a difficult little bugger to open up.
