You do understand that PC processors are Intel Based while the 360 processor is Power PC, which is basically the old Apple processor. right???

PS2 used assembly language and it didn't stop developers from programming for it. PS3 actually is a step forward because it supports Open/GL and C++. Bottom line: developers program for the most popular platform.

Do you have any programming experience? Because that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The only thing that takes space is the art assets and 3D HD Models. Code itself can fit on a CD.
