Why is everything on the PS3 delayed

GTA 4 is another 6 months away, Stranglehold is now another 6 weeks and The Darkness was late too.

Why is everything on the PS3 getting delayed??

It can't be that difficult to just port XBOX 360 games can it??

I guess that the way things are gonna be.
I want to order the limited edition Assassins greed but not if its gonna be put back by 2 months

it has something to do with the PS3 processor, apparently it's difficult to format to

Heavenly Sword isn't delayed. It will ship this week and from everything I've seen it is going to be an awesome game.

Ok yeah Heavenly Sword looks sweet and i will be picking that up for sure.
Was kinda looking forward to Stranglehold too though

Because it is a blu ray player marketed as a video game system...that is Sony's hook into getting people to buy a Blu Ray player.

People that buy it have to have something else to do until games start coming along, so buy some Blu Ray movies.

Yep..your'e right and it is irritating. If you wanna blame anyone, I guess it's gotta go to Sony. They have a bad habit of making consoles that are not developer friendly. The 360's basically a PC, so developers aren't having too much trouble with it, but everything on the PS3 is going to be more complicated to develop.

Heavenly Sword's an exclusive, so it's been developed for a long time only with the PS3 in mind. I think that's helped it's development time.

New programming language used only for the PS3 makes things very complicated. Programmers need to learn brand new stuff just to program the same game on the 360.

you`d of thought sony would`ve learnt it`s lesson with the the ps2 by making a console easier to develope for this time. But it`s just another example of their arrogance in thinking developers will just get on with it, well now it`s backfiring on them as games get delayed or even cancelled. Also at the moment the 360 has a bigger installed base and is easier to develope for making the ps3 even less attractive to developers. Oh and from the reviews i`ve seen heavenly sword is very average, just a second rate god of war clone .
I downloaded the trailer for mgs (the one showing actual gameplay) and even though I`ve never like the game it looked very boring with not particularly great graphics
