That's binary. Assembly is using the CPU's, GPU's and DSP's machine code to directly control every little thing that is going on. Assembly programming still takes place but usally only to help eleminate lag from user input etc. And this level of optimization can only be done with consoles without the reprecussions of seriously trimming away your potential user base. The upside to doing this is that you can drain every last drop of processing power you can. The down side is more lines of code since instead of using a language the encapsulates generic processes (The compiler and linker usually takes care of assembly), you are personally programming each and every step the program takes.
