    I have always wondered how to publish a console game?

    IF I get an Iphone game done is it converted for console or what?


    I guess manufacturing of the disc etc. is done in China also, or Hong Kong?

    First, release your first iphone game :)

    To release a game on console PS3/XBOX360 that you can find at retail, you'll need to be an approved dev by the manufacturor. Then you'll be able to pay a lot of money to get the dev kits. Then you'll need to spend a fortune on your game so it is up with the standard for that platform (and no, selling your house won't be enough to pay it all). There is very little chance that a small/tiny dev managed to do this.

    Now, there are cheaper ways like XBLA but still extremely expensive. So you could released a game on XBLIG or whatever it is called now.

    Anyway, IOS devices are mobile console, so really, this is probably the chepeast way to create a console game: do an iphone game.
