 Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is truly a stunning piece of not only gaming gold, but pure art and beauty. Just to start off, I love the 360, but there is no way in hell that the power of the 360 can handle this game, in fact Uncharted: Drakes fortune had to be toned down, so the 360 could run it, without looking like a flip-cartoon-book (low fps). Read why it cant run on the 360 [...]

This time around it is a PS3 exclusive:

It's the technology; the fact that we have been able to get so much more power out of the PlayStation 3. The fact that there's more detail in the background is a direct result of being able to get more out of the SPUs -- we're able to put more polygons on screen. It doesn't just go to the background; it means we can have bigger combat encounters because we have more enemies on screen. But then on a more purely visual level, the fact that we aren't going to be spending the majority of our time in a jungle like we did in the first game -- we're going to see these concrete and urban environments, we're going to see a lot of ice and snow. I think that's going to give it a brand new veneer just through that alone.

So that is why the game is a PS3 exclusive. The 360 just can't handle it (the ps3 has 8 processor cores and the 360 has 3)

I am bummed that it's not going to be available on the 360, and alot of people are. Lets just look forward to this masterpiece to hit store shelves.

Bonus:

If you just cant wait for the game, there is a Uncharted 2 Multiplayer DLC pack on the PSN so you can try the Multiplayer out before the game is out.
