the psp is making a loss per unit, (I think) it is the same with ALL consoles...

I don't think it's the case with Nintendo consoles. Big N has never lost money on a console, Virtual Boy aside. Even the Revolution is being designed and manufactured such that it is profitable at retail.

alot of valid points here.

However i fully beleive that console developers can benefit from indie developers. There just isnt a stable model for it yet.

I remember the ps3 said it would have something like java on it.
I assume that it would be more secure than c++.
(Just a thought of the top of my head which i havent thought out fully)
Indie developers would be restricted to this vm. While professional studios could go more low level.

These kind of options havent been explored as far as i can see.

xhyldazhk: i have never seen the GP2X and i have never met anyone who has it. I would much rather develop for the ps3 as then my friends/family can casually play a game i may have made. Less chance of land a job knowing how to develope on the GP2X.
