EA Focuses More On Xbox 360 Than PS3?

Another PS3 bashing post? Well maybe not so much.

Some of the reasons that have come out about why games are being release later on the PS3 than the Xbox 360 are questionable. Some speculate that coding for the PS3 is more difficult that for the Xbox 360, why that maybe true, it might not be the whole story. Jeff Brown, spokesman for EA games presents a reasonable explanation for the delays:

"As EA gets close to completing games, it sometimes must focus its resources on the version for one particular console, because manpower resources are limited." He also states that "it makes financial sense to focus on finishing the games for the Xbox 360 first because there are more 360s in the market than PS3s. More consoles means more potential sales for EA."

This also explains why games for the PlayStation 2 was always release before publishing one for the original Xbox. It also shows how the game industry has shifted for Sony and Microsoft.
