Todd is also a notable Xbox fan boy, saying "I prefer the Xbox 360. Call me immature, but even after seeing the Playstation 3's reliability, efficiency, and superior power all together, I stick with my little green and white box with the little red ring, which is why we develop most of our games in favor of this system. Another reason for this is because it limits what we can do. If we were to develop on the PlayStation 3 we would have way too much power. It would be better, but we're scared of it."
