Now if only MS and SONY would let the little guy develop for their consoles (the XNA platform doesn't count). They make it so hard for an individual to acquire an SDK (firstly, you have to be a real game company). Are they making the same mistake as the big mobile players? If only Apple would enter the console market and shake things up.
