Seeing as many PS3 games are being ported over to the 360 and a lot of 360 games are being ported to the PS3, breaking even will be lower on one of the two consoles in those cases am I right?

Actually, the word so far has been that porting to the PS3 from 360 and vice-versa is actually very difficult, due to the differing architecture.

The new word is that porting from 360 to PS3 is more difficult than porting from PS3 to 360 which is why a few games now are gonna have the PS3 as the main format and port them over to the 360.

Eitherway even with the difficulties, a ported game you have to sell less of to break even. Because you are not making a whole new game on the system.
