MCV Staff 18th February 2014 Publishing

More developers are looking to release games on the PS4 than any other home console, according to a GDC survey.

The survey of 2,600 North American developers revealed that 20 per cent of game makers intend to release their next game on PS4, compared to 17 per cent who aim to launch their next title on Xbox One. Nintendo has continued its struggle in gaining third-party support, with just four per cent of developers intending to release a game on the console.

PC, mobile and tablet platforms hold the most popularity amongst developers however, with 51 per cent planning to make their game for smartphones and tablets, and 52 per cent anticipating releasing their next game on both PC and Mac.
