Hi guys,

thanks so much!

According to: http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/default/README-platforms.txt

No, sides if you’re making a game for consoles its better to use platform specific libraries unless your game is really simple in which case it being on a console is questionable.

While PS4 may not be a supported platform, the SDL API is structured in a
very portable manner. If you do end up trying to port your game to PS4,
then it wouldn’t be too bad to put together the platform-specific code that
SDL needs. If you are already making PS4 games, then this is going to be
easy. If you are not already making PS4 games, then it’s easier to use SDL
for its other supported platforms and figure out the PS4 port as needed.

Your game doesn’t have to be simple to be crossplatform.
