X86/64 based CPU's like those made by Intel and AMD are typically found in everyday home computers.  But video game consoles have typically used other types of CPUs.  The Wii, PS3, X360, GC and Wii U all use a type of CPU from IBM.  An operating system, like Windows 7 or the upcoming Windows 8, is designed to operate on certain CPU types.  Windows run on x86 and x86/64 types.  Since the next Xbox and/or PlayStation may use one of these x86/64 CPU's, it might be possible for them them to run Windows on the console.

TBH the new 360 beta fw dashboard looks like windows 8 to me ... (of course with some modifications)

with an x86/64 CPU they will have an easier time to 'port' a heaviely modified windows to the xbox ...
