"It's interesting that the main annoyance was that the Xbox 360 has a closer architecture to a Mac than to a PC."

... and why is that an annoyance exactly?

Did you guys watch the video? Perhaps "annoyance" is the wrong word. I wasn't suggesting that they, or I, don't like Macs, but rather that they are different from the architecture on the Xbox.

The Xbox allocates its memory a certain way, and the Xbox 360 stores it in the opposite direction. I think the term he uses is "Endions". For example, a long variable is stored like 04 03 02 01 on the Xbox, and on the Xbox 360 it's stored as 01 02 03 04.

So the annoyance is that they have to somehow modify their code to work backwards in comparison to the Xbox.
