It didn't exactly set the charts alight. I’m pretty sure the sales of the last C&C on 360 had something to do with the ‘oh, fuck the PS3 version’ decision here.

If you can reuse your code (especially engines) then it's all good... but if you're developing largely from scratch then the additional costs of working on a difficult architecture may not be worth the potential sales.

Surely once you develop one game the next couple of games you make will benefit from your initial work and you become used to how to program for it. If everytime something came along that looked a little bit challenging and i said 'well the way i've been brought up, i'm not really cut out for doing that' i probably wouldn't have even finished my 1st year of Uni.
