I prefer rock salt. If the cost of porting is more a fixed cost rather than a % of cost of development then it does make sense to not port games which will sell poorly and spend that money elsewhere. Also it gives space for other games on the PS3 to perform better, a win/win I say!

I would prefer that the money spent on porting the lousy games to the PS3 were spent on something better, like making good games

And yes, it is a win/win, and I will agree more with you for every copy of BAJA that was chosen over Motorstorm: Pacific Rift.

All in all though, why spend money on creating the bad games in the first place? Spend the money on making good games that will make nice profits on both platforms instead

Wow this was open from ages back. Hmm Yeeeeah it wwwould be better for everyone involved to just make better games but it isn't that easy, if they could just make better games then they would do just that.
