Some issues to clarify based on what's said and what's not.

According to who? They said last year that the PS3 version would use the same engine as PES6 360
Nothing to suggest that the ps3 is worked on since 2005 and nobody ever said the ps3 version would use the same engine as the Pes6 Xbox 360, at least for now. "It was a natural flow from our development from PS1 to PS2 and it’s a natural flow to understand that it’s going to be PS3. But with the 360 version in development this natural flow might not be the natural flow in the future."

In that sense PS3 is definitely going to be a good match in terms of play feeling and control, but even so I am trying to adjust control feel so you will have no awkward feeling in all platforms if we bring them out."
Based on Seabass's interview, it rather suggest ps3 as the leading platform.
"Seabass: It was a natural flow from our development from PS1 to PS2 and it’s a natural flow to understand that it’s going to be PS3. But with the 360 version in development and its going to be out this fall (in Europe) this natural flow might not be the natural flow in the future.
We still think that the PC, 360, PS3, and Wii considered as next gen, we will not differentiate or create specifically for those. Our goal is to create something in the center and then spread out where the audience is. However, frankly speaking, with controller matching the best controller that matches our game is the PlayStation controller. In that sense PS3 is definitely going to be a good match in terms of play feeling and control, but even so I am trying to adjust control feel so you will have no awkward feeling in all platforms if we bring them out."

Regarding the console wars, there's no one better console than the other although i would say that the Xbox 360 is probably the better choice in terms of the current games market. However, we must be reminded that Xbox 360 is not doing very well in japan compared to Ps3 (exclude hot selling Wii) and for the near future, I don't see why Konami should change ther strategy in developing WE.
