Yes, some stuff that was going to be in had to be taken out.
I've read a much better analysis on AnandTech (or was it Tom's Hardware?) around the same time. Basically it reiterates what we've been hearing all along, that they are of similar capabilities, with PS3 possibly being in
slight advantage
if utilised to its full potential. In most cases that's unlikely to happen as Xbox 360 is much easier to program for and most smaller companies will probably go the multiplatform way to compensate for increased development costs. Sure, PS2 was also a pain to program for yet it came out as a clear winner. But people bringing that argument up seem to forget that PlayStation was already a proven brand then, and Xbox was just a perspective newcomer. Things have changed and Microsoft has put forth a tremendous effort to attract more developers. So they're both fine machines and both will have loads of great games. Microsoft has a head start and Sony will probably have support of casual, less informed gamers; it could swing either way.
