Will Adobe Open Screen Project bring Flash to Game Consoles?

Will the Adobe Open Screen Project bring the Flash player to game consoles? Will I be able to create a Flash game and deploy it via Wiiware?

The open screen project removes some licensing restrictions on delivering the Flash Player and also documents a porting layer for the API, making it easier to get the Flash Player working on your device. I do not see Nintendo or Sony or Microsoft on the list of supporters, but I do think this move would make it easier to implement a version of the Flash Player for game consoles. I wonder if a game developer would take the time to do that, or if it has to be done by the console maker?

The implications for a game developer to be able to develop something once and deploy it across consoles and computers consistently is huge. Maybe my next company will be a gaming company. I'm still digesting what this will mean for the community as Flash and Flex Developers.

Ryan's post on the topic also mentioned also mentioned Adobe AIR for devices, which is a new concept for me. Kevin Lynch's video also mentions AIR for Devices.

(Heck, they might as well add Roomba to the Xbox360)
