You have to pay huge licensing fees to the game console makers to be allowed to make games for their machines. (And they get to approve the game every step of the way to make sure their console brand isn't ruined by shitty games.) The machines that can "create" games, i.e. put the code onto old cartridges or modern disks, are called dev kits, and one PS2 dev kit, for example, goes for around $20,000. I dunno how much gameboy dev kits go for, because my company didn't make games for the gameboy.
