XNA is a new technology being deployed by Microsoft to simplify the
development of games. With it, developers will be able to produce a
single set of code that can be compiled for the XBOX and PCs.
What I want to know is, how is this going to give Microsoft a strategic
advantage? The obvious comparison is with java, whose write once deploy
anywhere strategy has yet to beat out all competition. Just because you
will have the ability to deploy code simultaneously to two systems won't
stop you from having to write code for the PS2, which still is the
biggest console on the market. As we have seen with ColdFusion, having
simple coding patterns does not ensure any kind of dominance.
