I highly disagree. Devs/pubs would love to have a 3rd (or 4th if you include PC) platform to amortize costs upon.
Porting would be cheap and quick and the pay off would result in much more revenue even if sales are lower than the other consoles. I'll show an example below:
Game costs $20 million for the core work across X360/PS3. Porting to Project Cafe would take a team of 10 about 2-3 months. That's $80,000 (average salary this year) x 10 = $800,000 / 6 or 4 (prorated for the year) = $133,333 - $200,000.
Publisher gets $20 per unit sold....you'd need to sell just 10,000 units to make it worth the effort.
So you get they are salivating at the idea of another paltform to spread costs across. Ubisoft has already gone on record stating they will easily be able to port over existing and upcoming HD console IP's to Project Cafe and plan to do so.
