Thanks.
Is Death Smiles going to get ported to the home consoles.
Border Down response: "I don't know. What do you think?"
Will the ps3 ever get a shmup out from all of it's psx, ps2 and psp franchises?

Well no major (or any at all

) franchise can be called Playstation's own.
Not that it didn't have it's (so far) exclusives, it's just that all the rights are owned by 3 party companies. Sony themselves never had much interest in this 2d niche genre, and pretty much supported 3d only (well almost) for it's PS platforms.
How much longer do we have to wait for the Ketsui port?
I am certain that it'll be done, when it's done.
Most important of all what is the most played shmup (if there is one)
arcade or console.

If you mean "at the moment", I'd probably say Ikaruga (you know: "the puzzler")
All time: a safe bet would be "Galaga", but it would be my bet.
