Developers are getting more and more used to it, so I doubt it's a development disaster of any kind. Especially not if it means that development tools can be carried over to the PS4. We don't know what Sony's plans are though, so I think it's too early to call it a dumb move. |
More used to it, yes. Some existing tools may help, but in the end many developers will still have to do extra effort to program for the "odd platform".
I'm ASSuming here that Microsoft's and Nintendo's new console will have more sensible CPUs with few, symmetric and fast cores. Add to that PCs, and you have three platforms which should be rather easy to port between, and then the PS4 which will require extra effort if the Cell is used.
