I want to build an application that counts playing time for consoles such as Ps4,5 and Xboxes. I need to connect somehow the console to .net to retrieve playing time. Any ideas?

1. write simple HttpListener and send requests from console to it when game starting.
2. monitor web page of your x-box or playstation account for game activity with html page parsing, and write game activity to your local storage

Perhaps getting profile information from the source, rather than the console, would work for you.

I googled "Microsoft xbox c#" and found that Microsoft has some documentation for Xbox live services here.

I googled "Microsoft psn c#" and found that Microsoft also has some documentation for PSN here.
