John Carmack revealed, by way of the latest issue of Edge magazine, that the Xbox 360 version of Rage actually runs at a higher framerate than its PlayStation 3 cousin does.
According to Carmack, the 360 version "matches the 60fps framerate of the PC version, while PS3 runs at just '20-30fps'."
The PS3 version of Rage will arrive on just one Blu-ray disc, while the Xbox 360 version will be given the four-disc DVD treatment. There was no word as to whether or not the PS3 version will have the framerate issue addressed before the game's final release.

"The PS3 lags a little bit behind in terms of getting the performance out of it," John Carmack told Edge. "The rasteriser is just a little bit slower - no two ways about that.
"The RSX is slower than what we have in the 360. The CPU is about the same, but the 360 makes it easier to split things off, and that's what a lot of the work has been, splitting it all into jobs on the PS3," he said.
