This only proves that porting from 360 (3 general purpose cores) to PS3 (1
general purpose and 6-7 specialized cores) isnt easy. On top of that its not
surprising for a developer to develope for the easier of the two first.
However, i expect this to change once PS3 is out in homes in the numbers
that 360 already has.
Sony can make all the promises in the world for the console, but it still at
the end of the day comes down to games. However, comparing one port to the
next will never work, as the game is always ported from one to the other. I
think the thing to take note of will be the first party games. Or the
exclusives from Insomniac, or some other dev. If those games can show that
the PS3 is 'doable' then other devs will set up exclusive teams to tackle
games built from the ground up on it.
I'd say the devs are just as sceptical as we are.

Ubisoft has face mapping tech?? I thought that was just EA?
