I am pretty sure that this thread would be taken more serious by jcl if there would be no console [or whatever] discussion...

And PS3 has a really complicated sdk [the reason why they needed to send out sony-teams to the dev at the beginning], xbox360's license is also quite odd if you are not using XNA [if I remember right] and wii license is also not really cheap - have you never wondered why you have to "ask" for the price of the license?

Linux and Mac are the way to go!
