However, the reasons for this are somewhat complex. We offer some detailed information below, for those who might be interested. The question about console machines is actually one for the hardware makers of the console machines - Sony, Microsoft, etc. They have decided that they do not want adult products on their consoles, although you can still play adult DVDs on a DVD-compatible console machine, of course. In Japan, there are many non-adult bishoujo games made for console machines, including games that originally were made as adult titles for the Windows format. These games have not been offered to the English world, so it would be logical to assume that it is not only the adult nature of PC bishoujo games that is preventing console companies from offering bishoujo game products. They tend to follow consumer demand - if they see a large consumer demand for bishoujo games, they will probably make an effort to answer that demand. It's still a decision for the console makers rather than an independent company, though, because they control what products are offered for their hardware. It's important to consider demohttp://www.peachprincess.com/graphics and how the electronic gaming market has evolved. Today, roughly 2/3 of electronic games are purchased for console machines. However, 2/3 of PC software is purchased by adults, and the vast majority of electronic game purchases in general are also made by adults. What has occurred within the market is that it has evolved to where both consumers and companies are content to allow console machines to be "for kids and family" while PCs are "for adults". Since used PCs are so inexpensive today (about the cost of a console system) and the bishoujo games stress story, characterization, content, etc rather than hardware technical effects, the console companies and consumers seem to feel that adult game products are best left to PCs, even if that means buying a used PC simply to play adult games. The question about non-Windows OS PC systems has a similar answer and somewhat similar reasoning. Basically, there isn't a big enough market for games of any kind being placed on other OSes, with very few exceptions. Even in Japan, games very seldom get made for non-Windows OSes. That's especially true for adult games, even if the actual artwork might be developed on a Macintosh (for example). Once again, the consumers and the companies seem to feel that it is better to allow adult games to be a Windows-only item, for the most part, and to buy a used PC to play them on, if need be. An interesting side note to all of this is that adult bishoujo games originally began on console machines in 1982, and it was not until the mid- to late-1990's that they became a Windows product.
