360 games on Windows 8?

Smart idea, but pretty complicated for devs, I'd think as every 360 game would have to have code that would no longer be maximized for a single configuration but open enough for the nearly infinite variables that exist in PC gaming.

However, I do like how MS is showing the Win8 will be almost he same thing across all product lines, PC, mobile, tablet, etc.

I don't think that's it. It sounds like they jsut maximize it on the 360 and the PC can just play that due to emulatoin or whatever. I mean, even a 6 year odl PC can play 360 games at this point so most PCs in themid low range would still be able to benefit from it without any extra developer work. If the developer felt like actually making a  lower scalability, or higher for that matter, then that's up to them.

I was thinking about the neXtbox and not so much 360 games. My bad. Yeah for 360 it could just be an emulator to play the games. But, I don't see them doing that until win8 comes out AND the neXtbox. This way they can offer the biggest backlog possible on win8 for 360 support.

With those two conditions it would not be a bad deal considering you can just plug in a 360 controller too.
