PS3 becoming lead development platform
At least that’s what Jack Tretton, chief of SCEA, says. According to him times are changing and developers first develop video games for the PS3 and then, maybe, port down to other platforms.
“We hear better and better things from the third party publishers everyday. We are meeting with them on a regular basis and are getting a lot of feedback from them in terms of their needs. We are now starting to see developers creating games on PS3 and then porting them to other platforms such as EA’s Burnout.” said the Sony boss.
He went on to say: “Developers are telling us that they are starting to create their games on PS3 first and take advantage of the hardware capabilities and then port down to other platforms so we are seeing tremendous progress from the third party community in terms of what they are able to do with our development kits. You will see some very nice things in 2008 coming from our third party partners in addition to what you will see this holiday.”
Seems things are going better and better for the Sony PlayStation 3, after the recent increase in sales, who knows maybe it can still be a hit, after all.
