Can I play games for XBox 360 on my PC?

No, this wouldn’t be possible for quite some time. The Xbox 360 has a completely different hardware structure than a PC (a PC has a Intel or AMD x86 compatible processor, whereas the Xbox uses a IBM PowerPC Chip). Furthermore, the Xbox 360 has 3 cores, that are specifically tuned for graphics, sound and other calculations. These 3 processors must be handled on the PC by a single processor. So an analogy to this problem: You only understand English. Now you have 3 native speakers in French, German and Swaheli, but only one translator. In order to understand the 3 speakers, the translator has to ask the three to speak very slowly and one after another. This will slow the conversation down a lot. And so the games from a 360 will also slow down if emulated on a PC. So, in theory its possible to run games, if a emulator gets made. But it will be very unplayable.
