The Casual Entertainment Label of Electronic Arts isn't likely to develop any game for the PS3. Doing so exists outside of their mandate, and outside of their coding capacity. This is where the architecture of the PS3 really hurts Sony. Were you Electronic Arts where would you put the coders most experienced with the Cell in the shovel ware division or in one of the high end divisions?
I wouldn't take this as a sign of things to come, or that Nintendo or Microsoft have lined Electronic Arts pockets. The nature of the division probably doesn't allow for them to code for the PS3. What Sony needs to do is create some powerful middle ware for shovel ware. They basically need some kind of Wii or 360 emulator to provide to developers for the low end titles.
Once they do that, and I see no reason why they are not going to. Your going to see more shovel ware on the PS3. Right now its not cost effective, and the expertise in the Cell is too dilute throughout the industry. Most coders have a grasp on the Wii, 360, and the PS2. Much fewer have a grasp on the Cell. Giving them middle ware that lets them treat the PS3 the way they treat the others would do Sony a world of good.
Ironically Sony used to have such a emulator built into the PS3. Were it still common practice for the machine then this game would probably come to the PS3 as well. Unfortunately has made the motto the hard way or no way, and if you can't do it the hard way your left with no alternative.
