According to an unnamed source speaking to PSM the Sony PlayStation 3 is far easier to develop for than the Xbox 360.
"Both are friendly, but the PS3 may actually be friendlier. People are finding that the [Xbox] 360 has some stupid bottlenecks."
The PlayStation 3 more powerful than the Microsoft offering.
"Once we have final hardware for both next-gen systems, we'll have a much better idea of how they compare, but the general consensus right now is that the PS3 is considerably more powerful than the Xbox 360 across the board," said another unnamed source. "It's important to get a good idea of which is the most powerful soon, since multiplatform games will need to be either ported down from PS3 to 360 or vice-versa."
Sony is also planning to make an Xbox Live - type online community
"They [Sony] have a whole division that was put in place after the Network Adaptor was released for PS2 that basically dropped focus on PS2 and moved to planning the PS3," another unnamed insider told the magazine. "They knew that early that they were not going to compete during the current generation."
PlayStation 3 will be released in all territories within the next nine months or so.
"Questioned further on the topic, Sony execs have since stuck to their guns, saying that the system would be available worldwide before next summer,"
The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas has been pencilled in for the PlayStation 3's coming out party.
