Actually it was because Sony gave them thick amounts of money. The Xbox was the easiest console to develop for, as the companies would probably agree to (because it's close to PC dev).

Dan Houser and Leslie Benzies have on numerous occasions declared their allegiance to Sony... Sam is the one whose all peace-love-&-happiness when it comes to the "console wars". It was his decision to make GTA III a multi-platform title (although Dan wanted the game out on the PC as well... don't remember where I heard that but I definitely remember reading that they had a quarrel). I agree that the xbox is easier to develop for, there's no arguing there, but there's developers out there who simply don't like the xbox. Leslie Benzies and Hideo Kojima come directly to mind. But then there's plenty of developers who are loyal to xbox so that debate could go on for years.

Side Note: Someone just told me earlier this afternoon that she'd heard that Remedy is going to make a new Max Payne, and it's only going to be on PS3. Why on earth would they do that? Here's something you'll NEVER SEE ME DO AGAIN... stand up for the xbox. Max Payne sold more copies on the xbox, didn't it? And didn't MP2 NOT sell that well (probably due to massive amounts of suckage)? So why would they make a third one, and if they're going to, why only release on the PS3? It seems kinda silly, even to a massive sony fan like myself

But most games on on both consoles and the xbox versions are generally better. Also playstation games online is rubbish full of bugs and just horribly slow xbox live is a more unified system so you have to pay but its very worth it.

But Gil, even I, a hardcore sony fan, must point out what others have stated... we don't know yet if the PS3 will be buggy or not
