Actually i'm guessing 360 and Wii teams do the same thing.
"Sharing technology" is just like... sharing coding tips and stuff. Assuming most of the sony teams use similar engines if not the same engines.... it makes perfect sense they'd do this.
Just how... all development teams do this within a company. I'm sure the FF12 and FF12V guys are sharing coding tips as well as well as people working on Xbox games from the same company using the unreal engine.
Someone comes up with a new little driver or add on device that makes the engine run better... or lets them import stuff easier via conversion and they pass it along... it's nothing spectacular or unique to the cell. It's just a matter of getting your dev teams to like each other and interact rather then feel they're competing against each other for development budgets.
Or alternativly let them know that people who develop helpful tools like that and pass them on will be compensated by way of increased budget.
