High-profile games reflect on the systems that they are released on. If someone sees a 3 year old game barely chugging along on the system, it reflects poorly on the system. People compare systems by multiplat games, and this is one of the biggest ones this year.
Also, how the heck could this even happen? Either the development team is incompetent (possible) but is the PS3 that different from the 360/PC that it can't run older titles? I don't buy the excuse that the project is sabotaged by Newell's attitude. A poor product reflects badly on Valve as well as reducing the money they could be making from it. EA isn't exactly a no-name company either.
