npub1aw2gcqz09z6lq5w5thzcadjsy8n7srs8mczkgs4c5rvjyyfh96nsg38vv5 (npub1aw2…8vv5) Sony *did* sell a hobbyist PS2 with Linux on it, but I think only in Japan, and it didn’t let you do exactly what a “real” developer would do… so yeah I guess it was the first!
But I miss XNA too. It seemed like it had such potential! But they eventually dropped the idea, and they never really allowed for performance-critical code. (IIRC, Vector intrinsics weren’t implemented, so doing basic vector math always took the slow path.)
