Daily Radar heeft een artikeltje gepost waarin een game developer vijf redenen noemt waarom de Playstation II zal worden overtroffen door de X-Box. Hoewel meneer de game developer z'n naam niet openbaar wil maken wordt door Daily Radar bevestigd dat het om iemand gaat met ervaring op meerdere platformen, PC's en next-generation consoles. Hier alvast één van de vijf argumenten:
2. The X-Box is Easier to Develop for Than PS2Maybe to gamers this doesn't seem like a big deal. But believe me, it is. Writing games on the PC platform is a dream compared to writing games on other platforms. The bar has only gotten higher on the PlayStation2. Much like the Saturn and the Jaguar, the PS2 requires an exceptional amount of jumping through hoops to get titles running smoothly. The reality is that many developers are either lazy, stupid or really f**king busy, and don't get around to making the title's performance the best in can be on a system that is really hard.
I am sure the X-Box, in the beginning, is going to have a ton of ports. That's because to port a game to the X-Box and have it look great is easy. To port a game to a platform like the PS2 and have it look great is a big pain in the ass.
