So I got some new info about PS3 and Rev, very reliable, and if you can connect the dots, I got it from a huge source.
Anyways, Revolution development is going about as good as 360 development was during the same time period. The company I talked to is excited about it, and said they definately will have to make it unique from 360 or PS3. The guy I talked to said he has only played crappy demos that came with the developing kits, but he wants to work on it after he is done with the game he is working on now, which comes out within the next few months. However, he wants to work on sports games for the Rev.
PS3..well many people I talked to said they know very little about it, and in fact are only now planning for it, at least in their studios. Right now they are only worried about current gen, Rev, and Xbox 360. Xbox 360, being the most important new thing to them right now. These people I talked to in fact, said the difference between PS3 and 360 is MS gave them something to go off on even before the alpha kits went out. So because of that, they went into making a new game a few years ago, only to realize they had to hold off for a bit.
PS3 though, they said they know less about than the Revolution, which scares them completely, because that could mean bad times at their company. Not for them specifically, as they are pretty secure in their jobs, but that the PS3 could cut into their profits.
Interestingly enough, it has been revealed PS3 may not be coming out until Nov in PS3 (in Japan), and my optimism about the system is wanning. Revolution however, I am a bit more interested in, although I can't divide my attention amongst to many games.
Also after polling a few developers I know about prices, they all said they aren't in the business of pricing systems, but if they would guess, Rev $200, and PS3 $500
BTW if any of you think you know where this info came from, if you try and guess I will delete your post.
