[QUOTE="loco145"]The Skyrim: Dawnguard DLC has been released to both the Xbox 360 and PC but "performance issues" have kept it off the PS3. The massive RPG has suffered from performance issues since launch and numerous patches have made things somewhat better but not well enough to begin releasing DLC. The problem is apparently so dire that Bethesda has enlisted the help of Sony and is still not sure it can solve the problem.
"It's been a few weeks, and we wanted to make sure everyone knows where we're at with Dawnguard. Skyrim is a massive and dynamic game that requires a lot of resources, and things get much more complex when you're talking about sizable content like Dawnguard. We have tried a number of things, but none of them solve the issue enough to make Dawnguard good for everyone.... This is not a problem were positive we can solve, but we are working together with Sony to try to bring you this content."
The studio just announced that the second piece of DLC, Hearthfire, would hit the Xbox 360 on September 4. This news incensed many PS3 owners who have accused Bethesda of favoring other platforms over Sony's console. These complaints drove Bethesda VP Pete Hines to try and explain that Dawnguard is not affected by the development of Hearthfire and other expansions because different teams are working on them.
The news that Dawnguard's issues carry over to future DLC expansions that Bethesda is not sure it can solve is potentially devastating and definitely a blow to PS3 owners.

In the actual interview/statement he declares that the PS3 is powerful but they're having issues with the DLC. I like how you left that out. LinkNobody doubts the PS3 is powerful, we all know that. It's just that it is a shame that it is not powerful enough.
