Hold on isnt this getting out of hand.
1. Valve didnt just throw this out into the ether for no reason. They were pressed into the comment by a game journo who will have hoped for exactly the reaction on these forums. They were essentially just defending their business model.
2. I dont think it is Lazy. Its just commercial common sense. Why should a dev spend more time on one platform to make it as good or better than its competition. Why should they lose money because of the OEM's design choices.
People need to get some perspective.
What about viewing it in terms of
"We would have loved to have developed for the PS3. Unfortunately due to its original CPU choice and memory configuration we have no commercial alternative but to concentrate on our core markets of Direct X capable machines. "
