xbox360 - How do game developers target multiple platforms (Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Linux)?


How do game developers target multiple platforms at once? For example, Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Linux. For 2D games, is it possible to also target the iPhone? I'm be interested in engines used (2D/3D, etc), how the build pipeline is setup and generally how much of the "core code" can be centralized without having to write platform specific code branches.


Or, if completely separate code trunks are usually maintained for each platform, how are libraries / code reused (in terms of linking and modularization)?
