- dijit 1y agoYes, the Xbox (since Xbox “One”; what a hilariously awful naming scheme) has software packages which are essentially Hyper-V VMs. This was nice as a developer because we were not forced to patch our games when the overlay or underlying operating system of the console changed. In fact, On The Division 1 we shipped with a patched/modified version of the SDK- this wasn’t possible on Playstation. Consequently, while the Xbox was marginally faster in a hardware sense, it was slower in reality. It even had the advantage of us using native rendering SDKs (Playstations OpenGL “with additions” was very much a bolted on second class citizen) and still we had higher quality and more consistency or our frame times on Playstation. No free lunch.
