After the amazing success of the PS2 and the amount of games that were developed for the platform, the PS3 would seem to follow in its footsteps but from what is currently occuring this is not the case.

The PS3 has been out for over a year and developers are starting to say how it is a hard platform to develop for and that the xbox 360 is much easier.

The final Fantasy franchise has always been very exclusive to sony except for some odd games developed for xbox and nintendo. But the announcement that the highly anticipated game, Final Fantast XIII, will be published on both PS3 and Xbox 360, it seems sony has lost this exclusive as Square Enix is trying to reach the Western market.

Square Enix's, Hiroshi Takai stated, after the release of Star Ocean, that “In both cases the experience has been a positive one. In fact, as we've only just finished work on Last Remnant, I don't even know what my next project is going to be at Square Enix. However, I'm very much hoping it'll be for Xbox 360, as it's been a lot easier to work with than PlayStation 3”.

There have also been many development issues that have caused the delay in game realease such as GTA IV were the game was delayed multiple times before its release and analysts speculate it was caused by PS3 development issues.

Although the matter seems prominent now it could just be developers taking time to come accustomed to the new system or it could be somethin alot worse that could lead to the PS3's downfall.
