Sony aiming to improve quality of third-party PS3 games

Sony's Phil Harrison said in an interview on Wednesday that the quality of third-party PS3 titles will likely improve due to the sharing of first-party technologies with outside publishers.

"[First-party games] are clearly demonstrating the PS3 is capable of some amazing things and if you approach the architecture from the right direction, your games will shine on the platform," Harrison told GameDaily Biz when asked if the quality of third-party ports would improve amid criticisms that the PS3 version of Madden NFL '08 is inferior to its 360 counterpart.

Harrison went on to say that Sony is shifting resources to third-party developers to help them make better use of the PS3's alleged advantages over the Xbox 360. In June it was reported that port quality suffers when moving from Xbox 360 to PS3 due to Sony's proprietary processor.

"That situation will reverse fairly quickly organically, but what we're doing from a worldwide studios point of view is we're actually shifting some of our core technologies from exclusively being available to our studios to supporting third parties as well - all third parties," Harrison added.
