 Console support in Godot
 ========================
 
+Console publishing process
+--------------------------
+
+Regardless of the engine used to create the game, the process to publish a game
+to a console platform is as follows:
+
+- Register a developer account on the console manufacturer's website, then sign
+  NDAs and publishing contracts. This requires you to have a registered legal
+  entity.
+- Gain access to the publishing platform by passing the acceptance process. This
+  can take up to several months. Note that this step is significantly easier if
+  an established publisher is backing your game. Nintendo is generally known to
+  be more accepting of smaller developers, but this is not guaranteed.
+- Get access to developer tools and order a console specially made for
+  developers (*devkit*). The cost of those devkits is confidential.
+- Port the engine to the console platform or pay a company to do it.
+- To be published, your game needs to be rated in the regions you'd like to sell
+  it in. For example, in North America, the `ESRB <https://www.esrb.org/>`__
+  handles game ratings. In Europe, this is done by
+  `PEGI <https://pegi.info/>`__. Indie developers can generally get a rating
+  for cheaper compared to more established developers.
+
+Due to the complexity of the process, the budget to publish a game by yourself on a
+single console often exceeds $1,000 (this is a rough figure).

+    In practice, the process is quite similar to Unity and Unreal Engine, except

+    distribute console export templates without requiring the user to prove that
