Where are you getting this notion that SE is putting priority to Sony systems? Take Dragon Quest 9. Most everyone assumed it would be a PS3 title, but SE said "Screw that, we want a giant userbase" and went ahead and put on the DS. Keep in mind DQ in Japan is huge. It's one of the few games that can put up Halo level first week sales (though it admittedly has not displayed any form of legs). More than a few SE ppl have hinted and talked about the possibilities that multiplatform games may be the way to go for HD systems (hinting at a possible FFXIII port) as well as expanded business overseas. And FFXIII has been very much a mystery title, with rumored slow development. Rumor is SE is dragging their feet to wait for a viable PS3 userbase to sell to. SE does not prioritize Sony systems.

Considering how many shares Sony owns of Squarenix (3rd biggest shareholder), it wouldn't be unrealistic that SE prioritizes the PS3.

 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression Sony owned less than 20% of SE's shares. If that's the case, they would definitely have a voice, but not enough of one over the majority shareholders to steer SE development into a direction that would be beneficial for the PS3, but not for Square-Enix's long term growth.
