What allot of people complain about on the PS3 version as apposed to the Xbox is that its looks slightly blurry and the fps dropping, these are the 2 main problems with the PS3 version and this is why! [they obviously did it on purpose {with Micro$oft in mind}...
if everyone complains about this then they can change it no problem [unless they have a secret contract with Micro$oft] but if everyone just accepts it then they will just leave it as it is. its so simple.

You are crazy, conspiracy theorists.
The graphical quality of Crysis 2 on the PS3 is a direct response to the significantly different architecture of the PS3. The 360 and the PC are different, but not alien, like the PS3 and the Cell.

The PS3's Cell CPU is new and unknown. Sony and Toshiba developed it themselves. The Processors in PC's and the 360 are based on older, more familiar technology. Tech that people know how to use and have used for many years.

You can even seen how after 5 years that developers have gotten better using the PS3 hardware. Remember when just about every game had to install to the HDD? Now games like KillZone, which look and run fantastically, don't even require an install. As devs have developed a familiarity and know how to push the PS3 harder.

I would imagine they simply did not have the time to optimise CryEngine 3 code of the PS3 hardware. CryEngine 3 is new tech developed by Crytek. Crysis 2 is its first outing.

Honestly I'm surprised that you're surprised. Most multi-platform games take a hit on the PS3. Even CoD: Black Ops runs at a slightly lower resolution and frame-rate, and this is after years of CoD games on the PS3.

This is not a slant on the PS3 by the way, you need only look at MGS4, Uncharted 2, LittleBigPlanet 2 and KillZone 3 to see some truly spectacular graphics on that system. But you'll also notice they are PS3 exclusives, the developer can focus on and utilise the PS3's own strengths. And it's also worth noting, in regards to how different the hardware is, that the port of Final Fantasy XIII runs in sub-HD on the 360, because FFXIII was developed primarily for the PS3.
