If you mean like manufacturing boxed discs and sending them to retail, I don't think that is feasible. First, I think you have to purchase rights to whatever SDK they have to develop it for the console (I think). Then we would have to get it manufactured. That's a big investment that I don't think we can make. If we want that, we would have to probably just sell the idea to a developer.
At any rate, I think our best bet would be to develop for Windows/Mac/Linux/etc. If nobody else knows anything about Linux, I do, and can help us program it in a way that would be portable to a Linux PC (which would also probably be portable to Mac).
One motto I have is: "Of course, there is the third path." Which means there is always one more path than the obvious.
Right now we have: Digital console distro, retail console distro, and digital PC (Macs are PC's too. PC does not equals Windows, no matter how much M$ wants you to think that way) distro.
So, this path is digital distro on your cell phone app market whatevers. Your iOS and Android and maybe whatever else there is.
So we have DL console, retail console, DL PC, and DL cell. We can also do a combination of those. Some work on porting might be required. Keep in mind that DL PC option is the easiest to test, and everybody here probably has a computer to test it on.
