Title: Mining on game systems Post by: MoonShadow on June 08, 2011, 12:52:56 AM Is there anything that prevents a developer from tweeking the gpu miners to run on game consoles? Thus creating a 'Wii' pool and a 'PS3' pool, etc?

Calculations would be done on the CPU, which would not be power efficient.
