Factor 5 gaat exclusief voor de PlayStation 3 ontwikkelen. Volgens het bedrijf zou de PlayStation 3 veel krachtiger zijn dan de Xbox 360 en is daarom de keuze gemaakt. De ontwikkelaar is onder meer bekend van Star Wars: Rogue Squadron voor de GameCube en heeft jarenlang exclusief voor Nintendo gewerkt.

In the wake of the consoles' unveiling, some developers are already leaning toward one platform.

"I was shocked by how powerful the new consoles are," said Julian Eggebrecht, president of the San Rafael, Calif.-based game development company Factor 5. "They should really free our development."

Eggebrecht said his company--which developed "Star Wars: Rogue Squadron" for Nintendo's GameCube--would create games exclusively for Sony's upcoming PlayStation 3.

The choice boiled down to performance, Eggebrecht said at E3 in Los Angeles. His company has worked with Microsoft's Xbox 360, but found PlayStation 3's 3.2GHz Cell chip offered more processing power. The additional performance allows the gang at Factor 5 to more easily simulate the real world for a better game experience, he said.
