C# is a perfectly fine language and is capable of making external DLL call. The data structures and functions are compatable and it takes minimal work to integrate with C++. (of course you then would have to deal with platform differences in API). Don't get me wrong I'm not pro microsoft. ..I'm currently programming for Linux/Java and primarily run linux on all my machines except 1 windows box for gaming.(simply because I'm cheap:) ! ) All that said, C# is an excellent language, expecially for platform abstraction (see mono linux project). Microsoft seems to be getting closer to creating more affordable tools and the ability to create games for my XBox would be awesome. Sony on the other hand has been nothing less than asinine with their pricing, overly complex API, closed system that a general user can't code against, pushing their product out to early and, most of all, their insistance in shoving blue ray down peeps throughts (hence the pricing problem. ..those blue ray lasers are expensive). . . your comparing two proprietary giants here not one innocent and one evil. . . . but the sad thing being that sony is placing access to their system out of the reach of most normal users.
Anyhow... blah blah blah
