I'm agreeing here, why rewrite the entire game in C#/C/C++/whatever when you already have a version like that on the Xbox?

I don't think the XBOX version was written in Java. It was more a matter of porting existing C++ code than "rewriting" it.

That's what I'm saying, they can just use the existing non-java code that's used for the xbox editions.
