[Ps3] Why is it hard to devolope games??

[colin]

i dont get it.. why is it so hard for developers to create games for ps3?? is it coz of the cell proccessor is hard to decrypt or they jus used to the xbox 360 dev kit?
it couldnt be that hard for computer genius's like themselves (game developers) to give better results than xbox 360 games.. we already waited a year for the ps3 launch after the xbox 360, why do we have to wait another year or two for good games and results for the developers to get the most out of the ps3's hardware..sooo shhchooopid.. somebody help me plz

The SDK was not up to speed when the console launched is the main reason.

Besides that, it's not all that hard to program for. The main problem with ports is developers using the GPU to render graphics entirely when the SPUs should be used in conjunction with the GPU.

Nash is right. 3rd party developers are too lazy to use the more efficient way of tackling the PS3's more complex architecture.

IBM have recently thrown out a compiler for the Cell processor in order to help developers use the SPU's more effectively, so within the next 6-8 months you can expect to see some nice improvements...

Look at the results when dedicated developers work on the PS3... GT5, Killzone 2, FF13, MGS4 all look amazing.
