"if the xbox has such a bad gpu, then how can it handle gears of war, crackdown, oblivion, and soon skyrim? if your theory is correct then xbox wouldent be able to handle minecraft or any of the games listed. Minecraft doesn't take much ram and as long as you have a good graphics card its a breeze to run. Dont you know the xbox already has a gpu and 512mb dedicated ram and add the powerful processor it has the game will run like a breeze. nuff said."
Because those games are DESIGNED to run on it, you know nothing about the console, the 360 sucks *** for flash based programs (which Minecraft is) which is why Minecraft is being built from the ground up to run on the 360. Go read up some literature on the actually structure of the 360 (meaning, go look up websites that make homebrew for hacked 360's you'll see that the 360 isn't all that great unless somethings designed for it from the ground up)
