The biggest hurdle that the PS3 will have to overcome.

The breaking point is if Sony can somehow develop middleware, developer kits, or something to allow the big ones like S-E, EA, Konami, Namco-Bandai, Activision, ect to make the PS3 a lead console for development on the multi-platform games.

That's an important point which I definitely overlooked in my original post. The question is, will the difference be enough to justify the additional expense of the PS3 to all but the most hardcore gamer?

I'm sceptical on that one. Killer exclusives, not multi-platform titles are the way back for the PS3 IMO.
