Very much no :-)
Afair, the xbox runs directx 10 (more like 9.5). Whats cool about XNA is, that any platform supporting XNA can play games made in XNA (Xp and Vista included). XNA is a framework, a lot like, and actully build upon .net 2.0, and developement is done in visual studio (so this is another product to express-line)

Microsoft is really pushing games in managed code - great to see :-)
