(...) What about this whole thing makes you think it's "easy".

PlayStation gets a lot of games. This wouldn't happen if it weren't easy.

Really? Counter example: The Wii.

The wii was easily the most difficult console to develop for last generation. Really. The developer tools were atrocious. The dev kits were hard to use. Optimizing for the hardware was far more difficult than it needed to be, and Nintendo's certification process was disturbingly tedious. It sucked making Wii games. Yet that console had more shovelware than the PS3 and X360 combined. Why? Because there were 100 million potential customers out there that might be looking to spend $30 on a video game if you make it cheap enough and interesting looking enough.

My point is, people are willing to deal with horse shit if they think they can make money off of it as a result.
