Xbox 360 has more developers than other consoles
A recent survey conducted by Game Developer Research has reported that there are more developers currently working on xbox 360 projects than on any other console. Whilst I like hearing this kind of thing it’s hard not to wonder how accurate this type of survey actually is.
The results were:
- Xbox 360: 78%
- Playstation 3: 58%
- Nintendo Wii: 42%
What this really means I have no idea? I’ve read previosuly that the PS3 is more difficult to develop for so that 58% of PS3 developers might not be anywhere near as productive as the 78% of 360 developers. Who knows?

That is quite expected, Microsoft has years of experience in delivering quality development kits like directx and has worked before its first console for the Sega dreamcast , remember ?
I’m sure the ratio will change soon when Sony will provide developers with better kits and don’t forget Sony PS3 was released later than x360 and Sony has won the HD media standard so it is just a matter of time…
