I already went over this. Cost is relative to the project. It's not much more expensive to develop for the PS3 than it is for the PS2 at the level NIS and the other small companies develop at. Upfront SDK costs might be a consideration but those are one time purchases to be used over a long term. Sony might even be giving these smaller companies deals on the development hardware for all we know.
More than anything it sounds like people are upset over having to buy a new console. Well its going to happen eventually so now is a good as time as any.

He's not necessarily talking about developmental costs (since we know they have none since they're probably just going to recycle sprites/animations/everything), he's talking about the number of potential buyers that currently exist for the game. There's over ten times as many PS2 owners as PS3, so why would you ever produce exclusively for the PS3 if you can release it instead on the PS2 (which, unlike the GC and XBox is still a thriving system)?
