QUEENSLAND University of Technology plans to teach students to design games exclusively for Xbox, following a research grant from Microsoft.
The decision has annoyed rival entertainment giant Sony, the dominant games console supplier in Australia.
QUT received a $US15,000 ($19,500) grant from Microsoft Research Asia to fund course development and a new lab of Microsoft's Xbox consoles for students to work on.
QUT is believed to be the first university in the country to offer an Xbox programming component in its degree.
