Are you serious? So your saying that it is better to have an exotic architecture that no one knows how to program for and it takes a year or 2 before anyone can master? Think about what you just said and how foolish it sounds.
If a platform is easier to program for the development house can spend more time polishing their product instead of just figuring out ways to make it work. It would also make said studio more profitable, because their product could be released a lot faster. It would be a win win for everyone not just for Sony.

I'm going to write a thread about this tomorrow maybe.
Here's a taste. Sony doesn't want their games to be easily ported to the PC.
The cell isn't harder to develop for. Rather it's different. It's new and there is a learning curve. Think about other languages. Other languages aren't harder to express, they are just different and alien.

Yes, think about some small african tribe language with only few users. Afterwards you have only wasted your time learning it because nobody else talks it except the tribe with whom you have been living with. I know, someone must do that job too, but forcing all people to learn it is stupid. Its the same as with ps2. If you are able optimize stuff on ps2 and make wonders with EE, it really doesn't help with PS3. Thats what Sony is doing all over. Its nicely rewarding them with big losses and actually it serves them well too, arrogant bastards. :)

There's nothing stopping developers from doing all their work in Java.
