PS3 production is ridiculous, though. If you're not 1st or 2nd party, Sony actually removes about a third of the SDK before they hand you the development kit, adding another three months to a year to your development time as you re-write that portion from scratch if you want to have the same kind of graphics and processing power that their first party games do. They also don't pay out commissions for third party games, you actually have to PAY THEM to be able to use the PS3 SDK at all. It's generally just not worth it, you know?
