| Machiavellian said: MS does not allow coding to the metel. At least this was the fact for the 360. I doubt MS will allow coding to the metal for the X1. MS APIs for their console do allow for some very close to the metal access but its still controlled. One of MS advantages is that their are a tools and library maker and they are building off of their existing infrastructure. A lot of memory work can be offset by good tools, libraries and development environment. Its going to be the driver layer that will be the key as MS needs to etch out the most performance possible for their API. |
For indie devs, that's true, they don't.
But a developer like 343 is allowed to code to the metal.
