I think I know why they do this but it doesn't make sense.
Why do developers try and make both versions of consoles look the same and run the same ?
I was reading becuase developers want to sell as many as they can for both platforms. But if that is true, you would think they would push both consoles to their limits as much as they can, not be held back by another console so you got to make it look the same as the other version.
To me , this doesn't make sense, if someone owns say a PS3, and the 360 version looks better, I'm not going to rush out and buy a PS3 just becuase the 360 version looks a bit better. As long as the Ps3 version looks as good as it can and runs as good as it can I will be happy.
So if one console is more powerful then the other, why not take advantage of it as best you can ? It really is stupid that companies try and make 2 console versions as close to the same as they can. I would have thought if the games run and look as best they can on each seperate cosnole, then that is better then trying to make them similar looking when one console could look A LOT BETTER if they tried more.
It's like someone will buy a PC version of something because it looks better, why shouldn't people have the option of buying the better looking console version too ?
