No, not at all the X360 hardware wasn't as exotic as the PS3 but it wasn't a traditional PC architecture ether. X360 had a Power bassed CPU not X86, the GPU had a lot of custom extentions like eDRAM and fixed function hardware. It's PC like in a developer facing way in that the dev tools are the same tools that MS had been providing to PC developers for years. |
In the context of development, isn't having the same tools more PC like than having the same architecture? Apart from assembly code units, I'm assuming it's more PC-like to have the same APIs you've been used to using for the past 15 years.
Just my guess though.
