Have you completed and released a game before? Console distribution is a lot more restricted than the other platforms you’ve listed, and generally requires some kind of registration process and per-title licensing and contracting, not to mention getting your hands on dev kit hardware. The entry level expectations are also generally a fair bit higher than with the other platforms you mention.
With all of that in mind, unless you’ve already got some runs on the board I wouldn’t recommend going for consoles. That’s not to say it can’t be done - it can - just that it’s a heck of a lot more effort at a time where I personally think you should be focusing on honing your craft rather than caring overly much about specific target platforms. Once you know that you can make games that people want to play then you’re in a good position to think about expanding your work onto those harder to reach platforms.
Also, “ID” is a Microsoft specific thing, that’s why you’re not finding a Sony “id website”. That said, Sony do have their own “Partners” program that allows you to publish stuff via their platform.

Here are links for where to start with the big three console platforms.

Keep in mind that console platforms are very much big businesses. If your game was published by a very well known publisher and has already sold millions of copies, then they will welcome your game to their consoles. If not, then don’t expect too much.
