As another Gandalf, Playstation 2 was the very first console to actually offer proper C++ tooling.

That would be 2000, until then Sega, Nintendo and Playstion only had C and Assembly SDKs, even the Playstation Yaroze for hobbists did get released only with C and Assembly support.

PC was naturally another matter, especialy with Watcom C/C++.
