What language does Consoles use comparative to regular PC and why it is difficult to have quality of content across all boards equal?
In: 0
Consoles now are pretty much PCs in a box, but even back in the PS2 days C language was supported to the best of my knowledge.
The difference in performance is due to the compiler and any other console hardware specific API.
It’s not the programming language that matters but the hardware and the operating system the game is running on.
Think of it like lawyers and scientists. They can speak the same language but not understand each other when they speak about their fields of expertise because each have their own special technical words.
If you want to speak to a judge you need a lawyer, if you want to write to a research paper you need a scientist.
(So the important difference is not the language but the APIs of the hardware and the operating system)
