If you know anyone who works in the console industry, this isnt a surprise.
Koei is threatening to bail from sony because their costs for doing a game rose from 300k to 3million for PS2 to 19 million for a PS3 game (USD).
EA stated with the costs of PS3 development only established companies can really afford it, and sony freaked out.
Xbox360 development is expensive but MS has a developer program where you are given SDK, and any tools needed if you can prove you have the skills to do it, to them, alot of companies did this.
Plus as anyone knows coding for multi processors is difficult, 2 isnt bad, 3 is more difficult, but 9... sheesh
