Sure there is, it's called game natural selection. You develop a bad game, you are out of the market. It's pretty simple I think.
Besides that, it's a good thing there no quality selection it creates a barrier-to-entry free environment. If companies like EA had their way though no one would be able to create games except them.
Because noone in their right mind would spend lots of time working on something just for fun, its only about money, developers like Valve don't just make games and say "Oh how nice was that of us to make another game, surely fans will love it!", its more like "Need more ideas, to make more money, think faster, time = money"
Umm tons of people HERE spend tons of time doing something for free and never expect to make a penny of off it. Doing it all just to see their ideas come into existence. If that is no longer the case then maybe I am in the wrong place.
x box but only because i haven't before and the question was what would you want to develop for and i already have used the pc so i want to try some thing new but i cant find any Dev kits
PC all the way! Maybe one day when the consoles can support the abundance of custom content like a PC game, then perhaps I would go into that. But the PC is always the winner IMO.
PC.
Nothing else really supports indie. I mean Xbox kinda does it, its "Kudo" thing looks kinda cool...PSN does Indie stuff a tad here and there.
But compared to the scope of things like Counter Strike, theres really no comparison.
although this IS a PC modding community so I doubt to many are going to disagree.
yeah pc
PC, but only because I'm a graphic designer :>
Would be nice to work with some other API.
API is something else :p API's are used by programmers :p
PC because I'm familiar with it and it's more versatile.
PC, more flexible.
PC - I'm a PC gamer and so would want to develop for PC.
PC for the win, although PSN and XBLA might be interesting. That said, there's no extreme quality checking on PC XD

But then again, why does the games have to be commercial?

Any COMPANY*. Several independent devs work on things for free.

Actually i spent a year working on my game Freedom, and its available for free. Lols i did it for the fun of it.
What a silly poll. :>
You're a silly poll.

There are some very funky games on PSN; they lack the production values of retail games but for their price they are fantastic fun.
