I think they'd make a console exclusive game designed for consoles. Their current lineup of games are far to fast paced to be properly played on a console (except for maybe the wii). I truly think they'd design something thats catered specifically for the format and not port one of their pc games. They did that in the past and it wasn't very successful. I doubt they'll take that road again. Whether said games use an existing ip or a new one is anyones guess.

I'd be excited to see the results.

 

Sadly, not a single game they have ever made could even begin to be on a console, much less "properly played" on one. In fact of the 3 consoles, the Wii would be the ONLY one which would be able to control them, albeit quite poorly. Also the fact that they do not focus on graphics at all, but on things that actually matter and are worth the money, means they would probably be doing Wii games, not Xbox/Playstation games.

Edit: Minor extra word that made no sense at all.

 

 

Hence why I said if they did go in that direction they'd most likely design the mechancs of the game so that they do actually work well with consoles. They'd most likely find an existing popular genre that works well on consoles (and sells well) and then make an ultra polished revision of said genre. I can see them either working on the wii due to the control method and marketshare or the 360 for the pc like archiceture. But at this point its all conjecture anyway as they're completely pc (windows + mac) exclusive and nearly all of their games from 10 years ago to game released a few years ago still sell so its not like they have any ecenomic incentive to go to the consoles. Plus it would further damage their relationship with their existing pc fanbase.
