Well, after having watched the vilification of developers that said it was difficult to develop on the PS3 when it came out, I'm sure no developer or development studio wants to publicly say that developing on one platform or another is bad.
However, no one in the survey said that any platform was bad to develop on, just which ones had either the steepest learning curve or would be the most challenging to take advantage of the available hardware features. It would be logical for the Wii and PS4 to offer the greatest challenge for developers because they offer the extremely different hardware from the previous generation platforms. If the PS4 is not Cell, but AMD it will offer a steep learning curve for developers to build games, but it'll be a short one as well. Nothing they know about the PS3 except maybe input control will be useful. Most everything else will be different, especially how to build games using it. I don't suspect it'll take long though before developers are up to speed on the Wii U and PS4. All three consoles are going to offer fairly similar levels of ease and difficulty for developers. But initially, the next Xbox will be easiest because the least changes with it.
