They could get a company that knows its ways around the PS3's hardware to port it. And then sell it for something like 20 bucks on the PlayStation Store. That way the owners would make money. And people who only have PS3s get to experience it.
Such expertise no doubt comes at a premium for the time they save. I'm not saying that it wouldn't sell, it's just unlikely to in the volumes required to make it's low price turn them a profit. They'd have to pay for the distribution (even digital downloads cost money in bandwidth etc.), the porting fees, the fees/cut to Bioware for using their game, possible also fees to MS/EA for using the game they paid to own.
This is again all assuming MS don't own all the rights to the game or are willing to sell the rights to Sony, which isn't something they'd be likely to do as more exclusive games = more reasons to buy their console, even if the exclusives are old.
If anything I'd say the PS3 version will have an edge in a way. If the interactive comic book lets you make all the key decisions in ME1, then you can just spend 15 minutes playing with it to find the combination you like best, instead of having to play through the entire 30-40 hour game several times.
Plus if they want the full trilogy experience that badly they can always just pick up ME1 on PC for like £10. The system requirements are pretty modest given the game is 3 years old and I would imagine any PC bought in the past year would be able to run it.
