The graphics cards in consoles do not have programmable shaders (well, xbox sort of does but not really), which would make them unable to use CUDA/OpenCL. Calculations would be done on the CPU, which would not be power efficient.

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?
