Was the code in this game optimized for a PS3?

Western developers are engineers, Japanese developers are artists.

It really shows.

Ding ding ding! Winner!

One thing which really isn't addressed here is the lack of communication. Every software Engineer understands communication is the most important part of a project. US "lazy" Americans excel in programming, engineering and understand the astronomical importance of communication.

A major reason this game is utterly fried is from a total lack of communication between costumers and more importantly in this aspect between the branches of designers making the game. Perhaps the new gen of people doing games in Japan nowadays are realizing this since Yoshi (shockingly for Japanese business practices) admitted there was a total lack of communication between departments.
