That made me wondering, too. Look at the wording: he said "but". If he said "small and manageable" it would sound pretty easy to do so, but that littlte word "but" arises an implification that porting games isn't that easy. But I could be misinterpreting it and overdramatizing this, as well. Just something that came to my mind.

Why would anyone complain about this when they were dealing with a different architecture with PS3 and 360.... Taking way more effort and knowledge. Cell was notoriously difficult to deal with, yet they did it. Why did nobody complain back then. This is a manufactured complaint spread by the media in an effort to push a more level competition between xbox and PS. 

There are a few people here in this community who have explained several times why this is a pain in the ass for developers because they work in that industry. I could never recall it, though. Maybe someone might explain it again.
