Richtel revisited the topic after hearing back from EA about the issue. A representative with the publisher told the writer that as a release date nears, the company sometimes readjusts the manpower on the projects to complete the Xbox 360 version first.
With a larger installed base for Microsoft's console, the rep said it makes financial sense to get that version of a game out first and maximize potential sales. The representative also noted that in the last generation, it made more sense for the publisher to focus on PlayStation 2 versions of games over those on the Xbox because of the platform's massive installed user base.

Like I've said elsewhere, they're stretched way too thin making the same games every year for 10 platforms including the cell phone
. That's just ONE of their problems
Nice way to tick off PS3 owners...like me who will only buy their half a**ed games used now so they don't get any profit
