The "lazy developer" excuse has got to be one of the most idiotic things posted on gaming forums, yet it gets posted over and over again. Game programmers are some of the most overworked, underpaid people in the entire tech industry. Huge overtime every week is commonpace, with no overtime pay, all for a significantly lower salary than they could make elsewhere. As for "it doesn't matter as long as both versions come out the same", my understanding is that devs might not have much choice these days. I've heard Sony will no longer certify multiplatform games if the PS3 version is substantially inferior to the 360 version.
