I'm not a coding expert, but I highly doubt the complication is senseless. Sony is not amateurish.
What I meant by the fazes is that those concerns don't really sound all that bad. I mean, Blizzard (if I remember right) kinda made the same complaints (along with the demand for a price cut), and Sony essentially said, 'stfu'.
I mean, clearly they know better than I do. I don't have the same information or perspective that they do. But it's not as though the PS3 community is significantly less than the 360 community. Too, I'll bet a higher ratio of PS3 owners will buy a solid game than 360 owners.
I've heard that, yes, the Playstations are more difficult to code for than the 'standard' of Microsoft, but this complication also allows a greater depth, such that, all else being equal, the Playstation can be pushed harder than a corresponding Microsoft system.
Could be wrong. Again, I'm just parroting what other people who do know what they're talking about have said. I couldn't explain it. Maybe Waff can.
And yes. It makes me terribly sad that Valve is anything but punctual. =(
