Speaking with Games Industry, Jamil Moledina (Game Developers Convention) said, "It's a relatively complex platform to develop for, considering it has a very unique multi-core processor with the Cell. A lot of developers are new to figuring out how to work with that structure, as well as the RSX, the graphics processor. It's always a challenge for developers to dedicate resources to next-generation titles like this -- consider the cost, resources, and time it takes to make these games."

If you think things have been hard on the consumer end, try making games for it.
