Default Bioshock to head to PS3?

Source: Gamespot

Quote:
This week, a new indicator of a possible PS3 version of BioShock surfaced. Among the myriad files accompanying the just-released PC demo of the game is a configuration document (Program Files/2k Game/Bioshock demo/Content/config.ini) outlining the game-engine settings. A subheading of the document references specific console settings for "(XBox360 [and] PS3)."

The mere mention of the console has been taken by many to mean that, at the very least, a PS3 version of BioShock was considered at one point. It's a perfectly valid hypothesis. In 2005, several files referencing the "Xbox" were found inside the code for Sierra's then-PC only shooter F.E.A.R. The following year, the game was ported to the Xbox 360. (It also arrived on the PS3 in 2007.) However, there's another completely reasonable explanation for the PS3 mention in the BioShock demo config file. The game uses the Unreal Engine 3, Epic Games' cross-platform game development toolset which is used for making numerous games for the PC, 360, and PS3.
Personally, I thought that it would head to PS3 all along. What do you think?

That's left over from the unreal engine code.

While this may be true, Bioshock should come to PS3 in my opinion. The more people that get to play good games the better. Also it's more support for the devs for a follow up game.

Bioshock at one point (if I remember right) was actually NON-EXCLUSIVE. It was supposed to be on PC/PS3 and 360. But shortly after the first announcement it went 360/PC exclusive.. it is very possible that they had a PS3 version in early early stages at one point. But from everything 2K says, this will most definately NOT be on PS3. They have stated that its 360/PC only

I also remember how Bioshock was supposed to be on the PS3 as well, but then it was later debunked.

You guys can always hope and cross your fingers.

People, it says on the box "only on Xbox 360 and Windows." It is not coming to the PS3.
