Well I have to disagree. While it is easy to program for the Sony machines it is not because Sony makes it so on purpose. "Path of least resistance" is a great way to sum it up. If a developer really tried to use all of the power a PS2 could muster the programming would be anything but easy.
Of the current systems the Xbox is the easiest to develop for. Why you may ask? Because it is easy for PC game makers to port their PC games over to the Xbox then making a port for the PS2/Gamecube. If I remember right the Gamecube development kit gets high praise from 3-rd party companies. The reason Sony has so many games on their system has less to do with the development and more too due with Quantity over Quality. They would rather have a whole bunch of games with a few gems hidden vs. then a Limited amount of great games.
