I believe it would be the easiest console to get certified on as you can use any Xbox to do most of your testing/certification on and you would not need an actual dev kit. We have Sony and Nintendo dev kits, but sharing those among a small indie team that is spread out to different places in the world is another matter. Xbox, I believe, does not have this issue. However, sales for indie games has never been an Xbox strength and this generation a lot of people have one mostly for Game Pass. Hell, that is the sole reason I own one since the PC ports can be iffy. I doubt MS would be interested in pursuing our game for Game Pass release. So, yeah, due to history of low sales and the type of player, it puts it lower on the port list atm despite it being potentially easier.Thanks for the answer! Personally, as a long-time Xbox owner, the value is going down because at this point the platform is missing out on too many cross-platform releases.
I found this article from last month. I would guess that for technically less demaning 2D ports making the game Series S and Series X compliant isn't an issue?
