    Who thinks that TPT should be able to be on other game systems like wii u, xbox 360, 3ds, and others.

    Some game systems wouldn't be able to play it.
    Others take a long and dubious process (which costs money!) to approve applications. Updates take a long time to push.

    Yes, this would take so much time and money that it's not really possible. It would need whole teams of developers to do it.

    I do have a version of tpt that will work on the wii though. It runs at like 20 fps and you can't use the online browser, just stamps. I also had to reduce the screen size (but fullscreen stamps can still be placed, with stuff cut off depending on where you place it). It really isn't much fun, and is very hard to use.
    That should show, that game consoles aren't even powerful enough to run it without things being removed.

    Also, without the precision of a proper computer mouse, you lose out on a lot of details. Powder Toy is more like a tool rather than a game. Using it with a d-pad or an analog stick would be annoying and there'd be no simple way to produce higher quality saves. (Does anyone else like place - click right arrow - place - click right arrow - repeat ad infinitum)
