PS3 in Better Launch Position then Xbox 360?
Mark Rein, of Epic, recently said in an interview with Eurogamer, that he believes the PS3 is in a better position for launch then the Xbox 360 was last year from a developer point of view. Rein noted that developers received their final PS3 development kits right when E3 began, whereas the Xbox 360 final development kits did not come until much later after E3 2005. The additional time with the development kits should allow developers to fully utilize the power within PS3 for the launch titles, and not make sacrifices for time, as they were forced to do with the Xbox 360. Mark Rein is confident in Epic’s ability to produce quality games for the launch, saying, “I know we’re getting some great results with it back at our house, so I would expect other developers will be as well.” I guess we will just have to wait and see.
