they are not smart enough to code in c++ and opengl based on parallel processing cpu.
or too lazy to get to do it.

its either one or both, but being an ass with the console then retracting its quite honorable from them.

People on developer teams are trained to develop in a certain environment, and when you're asking PC developers, who've only worked on PC games, who might know what it takes to make a PS3 game but have never made one before, and who have ported only one game so far to the 360, which is a nearly identical developing environment, you don't think they need any additional training?

It would cost money to either hire PS3 developers or train their specialized developers to learn PS3 coding...either way it's money they don't want to spend, because it's not worth it.

That's why I like being a designer-- I don't give a crap what system I'm working on.
