According to a job posting on the Naughty Dog website they are looking for a cross platform Lighting Artist, so important is the cross platform part that they have decided to select only that line for the special bold treatment.
So does this mean we can expect Uncharted 3 to land on the PC and Xbox 360?
In short, No… in long, well you never know but I severely doubt it.
Naughty Dog is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment and the chance of Sony allowing one of their most exciting exclusives to land on the Xbox 360 is about as likely as a snow party in hell.
Which does lead us to wonder why Naughty Dog are looking for a cross platform Lighting Artist, could they be looking at breaking into the PC market or is it simply just that they want someone with wide ranging experience and this is the easiest way to do that?
Either way if you are an aspiring Lighting Artist then drop them a mail and lie your way in, it’s what everyone else is doing anyway.

Not a chance, Sony is the publisher and owns the IP. There’s no way they’re letting one of their best exclusives appear on the xbox.
Same applies to the Jak and Daxter franchise.
More likely a new IP.

Sony is more than the publisher, like I said in the article Sony actually owns the company which makes it less likely

Not gonna happen. If it was for programming skills then it would have been significant , but lighting is most likely done the same way with the same tools accross all platforms.

I think you reading it wrong there. They not saying you have to have experience with all 3, but merely with one of them (or more).
I think they just want someone who has experience with making games on the current gen of consoles instead of hiring someone who has come from making movies or something.

It sounds like they’re going to be working on a new cross-platform IP.

They may be going to PC… possibly. Steam will be connected with PSN so that could be what it is for. But I doubt it.
Uncharted to 360 is Halo to PS3
