Anywho, I am quite sure that the PS3, with it's more often than not overly complicated architecture, is why Valve gave up on making games for consoles.
i was referring to consoles of course. and yeah, home computers were different department. still during 16bit era big names like Square and Enix focused at Super Famicom while companies like Falcom kept making games for home computers
@anotherthing, Why can't they use both? Isn't there something to do with costs related to this, or didn't they really care that people would use the HDMI port?
@Vetusomaru, Developers found it too hard to develop for, lack of proper documentation and was a lot more advanced. Not to mention that the Original Xbox was based on the Windows kernel and that it used DirectX, meaning it was just as easy to port PC games and optimize it for the console.
