PS3 might not be the hottest selling game console in the world at the moment but, probably, it was one of the most plugged consoles before its launch thanks to its little known cell processing prowess.

Nearly a year into its launch, game developers have generously vented frustration concernign the PS3, labeling it a difficult console to develop games for.

Sony Computer Entertainment’s President, Kaz Hirai, told Playstation Magazine that it can take up to six years for games to fully tap the PS3’s innate potential.

He did not find it amusing that developers are finding it difficult to adapt to the PS3 and said that game developers faced similar problems with the PS2 after its launch. He wittily remarked that he would have been worried had the developers found the PS3 an easy console to develop games for.

Hirai has given game developers some food for thought. It’s time that they bothered more about developing quality games — while they got a better hang of the PS3 — rather than cursing the game console.

Although six years might seem to be a long time, Hirai didn’t mean to imply that quality games — or those at par with the best games on other platforms — will not be available on the PS3 during the course of the next six years. It is just that games will really start to stretch the PS3 to its upper limits after six years, which was the case even with the PS2.
