PS3 costs scaring away developers

Software developers who might have been slated to code games for the upcoming PS3 may have become skiddish when they found out exactly how much it would cost to develop games based around this platform: $17.6 million USD (2 billion yen)…..Ouch.
Japanese site ZakZak, translated here, muses on the upcoming battle between the PS3 and Xbox 360 and fears Sony?s demanding standards could put it at a disadvantage. Their source suggests that developing software for the PS3 from scratch requires an initial investment of at least 2 billion yen (US $17.6 million) and that?s before they start.
