Answer 1

You separate what you want done from how you want it done.
What you want done is the same on any machine (turn right, look up,,etc).
How you want it done is a different set of instructions from one type to another. On the Xbox there is one set of instructions that handles “turn right” there is a completely different set of instructions for PlayStation. They both accomplish the same thing n the appropriate way for what they are operating
