I don't KNOW the 360 is easier to develop for, but I do know the PS2 sucks to develop for. I've never worked on it, but my team lead is a PS2 guru and he said today that he wished the ps2 would die, cause he's hates working on it (finishing up a ps2 title now). Since the PS3 still has the Cell processor, I don't think it will be much different *sigh*. We do have 360 dev kits and they are easier then the xbox to develop for. Not really proof, but it's all I've got.
Sony isn't really in a better place even if they have dev kits out earlier because (if developing for the ps2 is any indication) it is MUCH harder to get stuff running on their architecture. If development was exactly the same as other systems then yes, they are in a better position, but it isn't, and they aren't. Personally I Sony wakes up and is forced to make more developer friendly environments for us to work in, but I doubt that will happen.
