To anwser that I need to know from which platform the 360 version is being ported from... if from the PS3, the 360 is a port. If from the PC, it isn't.

Games aren't made on consoles, so they'll just take their PC code, and optimize it for the 360.

Well if thats the case, ALL games are PC Version, so why do so many Xbot fanboys clearly state "Most Multi-platform games play best on 360" someone please enlighten me. because it just seems like im missing something.
Anyways to the point, its being built up for the PS3 primely and X360 will get some kind of trashed port and this is my opinion so GTH if you dont like it.

And you just added to it. 

It's being optimized and developed FOR the ps3 ON PC..... doesn't that mean that the PS3 version is a port of an optimized PC build???

White engine is multiplatform (PC,PS3, possibly 360 as well). as far as I know, they were developing the game on PC, and doing ps3 optimizations to the resulting ps3 version of the engine binary. meaning its technically a port to both console platforms.
this thread was about contributing not arguing.
In the beginning porting was a downgrade from the PC. Now, it isn't so much and the real downgrade comes when you "port" a game designed for one console to another.
In essence, "porting" from the PC has lost that original meaning because the associated idea of "downgrade" is negligible.
Now, when someone says something is a port it means:
It was made specifically with architecture in mind, for one environment and now it is simply being translated to another environment in the way a fifth year language speaker would translate between two languages. Very close, but still noticeable.
That is the "port" we are talking about here.
