here is the hole in this, most developers are using the PS3 as the main dev platform now for multiplatform games.

 

Most?  Can you provide some evidence to back up this claim?

EA, Activision, Atari, Midway, and a few others have announced before that they are or in the process of switching their main dev platform to the PS3. EA has already done it for their Sports titles, Activsion has had a few titles as PS3 as main or developed each game individually on each platform, Atari has made their multiplats with PS3 as main platform.

As long as the main publishers are demanding it dev teams owned by the publishers have to use the PS3 as main platform.

Since EA and Activision own a large chunk of developers it is easy to say most developers are using the PS3 as main plat.

Activision is a confirmation due to the fact of COD4/5 and DMC4 was co-developed for the PS3/PC/360 at the same time.
