For those of you don't know, the people at Valve, and their co founder Gabe Newell absolutely hates the PS3, they'd rather develop games easier on PC, and the 360 which has a similar architecture, while the PS3's arc is very complex and intricate. They didn't even bother to make the PS3's version of The Orange Box themselves, they were approached by EA and the development team at EA did the porting, and they didn't even get all the bugs out of the game for the PS3 version.
Well now, it looks like they better swallow their own words, cuz the PS3 is selling, and making money. They are re evaluating their stance towards the rising success of the PS3:
"We're always evaluating what's happening in the marketplace and certainly something that's happening in the last couple of months is that Sony's managed to sell some boxes," said Lombardi."So whether or not you like developing for that platform, if they've got millions of people connected to that platform and buying their games you have to take it seriously."
