The xbox is not a personal computer

Well some might disagree with you on that, but one thing is for sure, it's not a ATM controller or a storage controller. It doesn't run a medical device, a military, automotive or aerospace device or virtually any other definition of a typical embedded controller. It is far closer to a PC than any other "embedded controller" in existence. It takes user input and produces user output. It connects to the internet and interacts with other users and sites and it runs x86 code for a personal experience. It computes and it's personal and if there was an Athlon in there the AMDroids would be the first to call it a PC.
