Most games support a certain number of players, not because they cannot support more, but because of the hassle of managing all those players be it in game design, execution or code. Plus in many cases it dilutes the overall experience even on huge maps. This tale about "being able to be done on PS3" is baloney. It's more of the mine is bigger than yours arument. Sony is just throwing out a number here. Playing a statistics game. Also what happens when someone else be it MS or otherwise matches that number of players in their game on 360 or PC? More egg on Sony's face, that's what. Honestly, Most of the next wave of games will support anywhere from 2 to 64 players. I think that is extremely flexible to maintain lag free, enjoyable experience. This is more of the sega famed “Blast Processing” non-sense, remember that vaporware!

This tale about “being able to be done on PS3″ is baloney. It’s more of the mine is bigger than yours arument.
