From what I know, the PS2 isn't a cakewalk to develop for either, but 100 million units sold is too much to ignore, so developers put in the work anyway. If the PS3 were to sell any better, we just might see an improvement here. Then again, sales won't really be able to pick up unless the console gets a better lineup of games. It's a vicious cycle, I tell you. Yes, it really is unfortunate.

The PS3's architecture is so fundamentally different from the standard 360/PC architecture that ports just won't work. Games have to designed for the PS3 from the get-go. It's unfortunate that IBM cell processor is such a pain in the ass to develop for. No one disputes the raw power of the PS3 thanks to its architecture: it's just a shame that there are few developers willing to go the extra mile and really learn how make PS3 games great.
