Auto-populate console device sub-model in crash reports #118514

Description

@rpropst

Console crash reports surface generic platform labels ("Xbox", "PlayStation") without sub-model detail. Customers cannot distinguish crashes by device SKU (e.g., Xbox Series X vs Series S, PS5 vs PS5 Pro).

  • Platform APIs on Xbox (GDK) and PlayStation expose device model identifiers
  • The SDK does not currently populate device.model with SKU-level data
  • Workaround: manually set a custom tag at SDK init time

Auto-populate device.model (or equivalent console tag) from platform APIs during SDK initialization, enabling sub-model breakdowns in issues and dashboards without manual instrumentation.

Reported by a gaming console customer (Triiodide Technologies).

Action taken on behalf of Richard Propst.
