...the PS3 or XBox 360? It's important that it's HD. If possible, can youlist the name of software that helps? I don't know much about console programming.ALso, along with the software name, can you give me web sites that might help, and a number of the best programming languages.

What you need is the SDK (Software Development Kit ) for the particular console that you are developing for. Unfortunally these kits usually cost $10+ and even more unfortunally you can't get them. Most Console license holders (like Microsoft or Sony) will only lease a kit to you if you a big company with an active title in development and a published deal ready. It is almost impossible to get a kit if you are a single developer.I suggest making a PC game with DirectX, the directX SDK is free. It is a good place to get started and Microsoft's Xbox uses a very similar almost identical interface. So if you can swing a publisher deal and convince Microsoft to let use use a SDK you won't have much trouble getting your game to work on the XBox.When you game is ready License holder will put your game through a set of rigorious tests to see if it is stable and conforms to all the rules of the particular system, if that all works out they will allow you to release the game.Almost every professional game with VERY few exceptions are written in C++.Compared to all this making the game work on a HD Televison is trival.
