It's not really that, it's that it isn't made specifically for the PS3 and PS3 only.
Anytime you have an engine or game that is made for multiple platforms, you have to make it to run on all platforms. Games like Uncharted look brilliant, in part, because it was tailor made for the PS3.
When you're making something for multiple platforms, you have to weigh how each works on each different platform. Sure, the PS3 has insane amounts of CPU power, but it has a small amount of memory compared to the 360. It's just a big balancing act when you're working with something that is made to work on multiple platforms.
