Fourzerotwo...he works for Infinity and acts as their Major Nelson type guy just posted the following:
News @ 11 - Fanboy makes up fake quote to incite console war. Internet explodes. For the record, that quote is fake. Todd Stevens is a made up name. Lastly, we don't have a lead sku, both platforms have dedicated guys to allow equal dev time (the way it should be). So let's all calm down, take a breath or two and stop believing quotes that originate from forums. As always, feel free to ping me if you ever have more questions
@Joe80,Thanks...what I'd like is the source of the quote as all I find is forums and blogs repeating each other. I'd be very surprised to hear a developer under Activision's control say something about the PS3 being the superior version.
I can't even find a 'Todd Stevens' on the net other than one that works for Bioware.
@Joe80, Playstationlifestyle is a blog...they rarely do any real reporting. If you look at the date of the psls entry it is April 4th...this quote started showing up in blogs on March 28.
In other words PSLS just rewrote the blog entry and gave it their own spin...notice they don't say WHO interviewed this fellow nor do they link to source.
Is there a quote or video link of this being said that isn't on a forum? I did a google search on the relevant text and only find forums cross ref each other and no source (reliable source) link anywhere. Id find it hard to believe that a dev would make such a statement.

That's for clearing that up. I do recall now hearing that IW has development teams or part of them dedicated to each platform.
