As surely as night follows day, so the latest word (in a seemingly constant stream) out of informs us that could not have been created for the 360.

Alex Evans says that his user-generated platforming opus pushes the in unique ways, and that while a similar game would be possible on the 360, LBP would not work "as it is".

"With LBP as it is, we couldn’t have made it on the and the reason for that is actually because we designed it around the PS3’s strengths," Evans told GI.biz.

"In other words, if you’re a game designer, from day one you know your platform, and you just cane it on that platform. You’re not worrying about cross-platform, you’re not worrying about anyone else’s design."

Evans goes on to affirm that regardless the 360 is still a very capable machine, and that like any platform a user-generated title would be entirely possible.

    This article is in a number of places on the net, and I can't understand why? LBP was created for use on the PS3 and around the PS3s architecture. Its a pretty obvious assumption that it won't port across to xbox. Wii Sports probably wouldn't work very well on either the Xbox or PS3, but does that warrant endless articles? Garage Band for Mac doesn't work on PC either... etc etc...
