Good question!
Let's see:
Nintendo ds ---> No MMU so linux is almost useless. Only console application in a touch device....
Apple iPod ----> I've used this hack for many things like ebook reader and games, so linux here (if you have a compatible ipod) can fit nicely!
Microsoft Xbox ---> Useless! It can be a great addon to change a console in a little home server, but for other things better stick with xbmc or other things compiled with XDK
Nintendo GameCube ---> Useless! Too slow for media center and emulators. I prefer GCOS and all the homebrews compiled with devkit
PS3 ---> For now is useless. Maybe in the future, with a proper video driver...
