Ubisoft creative director, Patrice Desilets, contrasted the different challenges of Xbox 360 and PS3 when developing one of the year's most highly anticipated third-party games, Assassin's Creed.

In short: the Xbox 360 DVD size is limiting and the PS3 houses finicky system memory.

"Right now we have a big challenge on the 360 to make it fit on a DVD, to put five languages, to put all the data on eight gigs," Desilets told Pro-G in an interview.

"How we handle memory is really different between the two machines and we're struggling right now on the PS3," he said before adding that Ubisoft has help from both Microsoft and Sony developers to ensure the game reaches its full potential on each platform.

"The PS3 version is as good as the 360 version... [they] are the same," Desilets maintained.
