Ask HN: Which game console will be the easiest to develop for?
All major game consoles and Ouya.
- xoail 14y agoI spent some time playing with kinect sdk and was surprised to see how mature it looked. Easiness totally depends on what you are trying to achieve.
- TobbenTM 14y agoDepends what languages you know etc. Xbox has XNA, which is OK. Ouya has many Android game libraries, amongst others: libGDX. Or you could count Steambox as a console, and develop in whatever you want (to a certain degree).
- jamesjguthrie 14y agoI like XNA, isn't it defunct now though?
- eb0la 14y agoMobile consoles like PSP(\s*)? and Nintendo .?DS.? are loosing quickly market share to AppStore-based devices (from apple, google, etc...) in mobile or tablet form. I would bet for firefoxOS on the mobile/tablet market (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/partners/)- http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/partners/)- just because "low-end" devices will grab a lot of market share in "developing" countries and users with their first smartphone (think about growth). For living room & sofa consoles... the hardest part is not programming, but publishing. Try the one with more "indie" games.
