"Never mind that such accusations have never been thrown about when the subject was developing titles for the Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 3, or any other game console. Those developers must not only use the languages and tools the vendor outlines, but typically must also pay thousands of dollars for licensing fees, specialized development hardware, and jump through a variety of other hoops."
You have to pay for development kits, true, and you have to link with the standard libraries, but the language and tools you use aren't restricted.
All the TRCs/TCRs are outlined ahead clearly ahead of time and for the thousands of dollars you get support and a working dialogue between the developer and the platform holder.
