I thought the author of the article spun that to his likings.

The Nascar EA guy simply said that is Sucks compaired to what he is used to. They used to be able to make a PS2 game, port it to the Xbox, and EASILY make changes to get the most out of the XBox1. ... now it isn't the case. They make games for the 360 and port them over, and the "port over and edit" process for the PS3 is WAY more difficult. If anything, it sounds like EA needs to change the way they make games...

...Which is a dead issue because they are, at least for Madden 08. Next year it will be made based off the PS3's coding, and then ported to and edited for the 360...

“The truth is the PS3’s tools and the way it works just sucks. The truth is they are both virtually the same in terms of hardware when it comes to how powerful they are, maybe the 1.PS3 has a few different things that makes it a bit more advance, and 2.Sony has this idea that it is designed for optimal development but that’s a load of crap. 3.In the last generation we would make the game for PS2 and then port it over to Xbox, but because Xbox was easier to develop for, we could actually enhance the title a little if we wanted to. 4.The case with this generation is different, now we make the game for 360 first and 5.then port it over to PS3, but we really don’t have the time to mess with how the PS3 works to really add to much more. 6.It will change in the future, but for now it sucks.”

Bold 1: He says "The PS3 has some things that make it more advanced.
Bold 2: He says that Sony is using a different system than he is used to. Something Sony did changed.
Bold 3: He says that what they USED to do is different than what they are doing now. In fact what they used to do has been more efficent for them.
Bold 4: He confirms things are different now. He doesn't claim they are better now at all by any means... perhaps they do things they way they do now just because the 360 came out first?
Bold 5: He says that they want to make PS3 games as good as they can be, but because they haven't changed policies regarding game releases and ports, they cannot complete as many changes as they used to be able to on PORTED games.
Bold 6: He says that they are changing the way they make games.

No where does he say the PS3 is harder to DEVELOP for... I see him say multiple times that porting a game over from 360 to PS3 is harder than it used be going from ps2 to Xbox though because of time restraints though...
