Furthermore, they don't take into account the additional costs we know are associated with developing on the PS3
Just initial costs are higher due to being differently designed, requiring some additional R&D. But you can do a cheap quick and dirty port, some have done so. However if you tackle this R&D, the following game based on the same game engine will not take additional resources comparitively, there's just potential to go further than the 360 is capable of through additional R&D.
nor the fact that many PS3 games are priced higher than their Xbox 360 counterparts.
Here the new multi-platform releases cost about the same, of course the 360 due to its 1 year headstart has more budget priced games.
Scratch resistent Blu-Ray discs costs a little more to make than DVDs, but not that much. DVDs less than 1 Euro in small 5k quantities, Blu-Ray disc less than 2 Euro at small quantities.
