Simply because only 10% of the programmers own a Playstation3 game console but 100% of them own a normal PC with a Pentium or AMD CPU running Windows with DIrectX and some OpenGL also :D

Number of issues.

PlayStation 3 isn't available ( hasn't shipped).
It will use a completely different (incompatible) primary CPU ( not x86, but in the PowerPC family with CELL SIMD processors),
so no MASM32/Windows.
Development may require a costly development package.

Uuuuh. I have no money to buy a software above $20. Maybe we can use bogdan OS as a template to build a game on PS3. Will it OK Mr Bogdan?
