Yes. A good quote from The Zbuffer:
"GarageGames, in collaboration with the Microsoft XNA group, recently ported its full-featured game engine to managed code for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Xbox 360….. successfully porting a complex suite of game technologies from C++ to C#, .NET, and the XNA Framework"

Apparently its not so difficult :-)
Me never dared looking into creating games, will certaily try this out. This could be the big-bang making MS the game-platform-winner.

This means my game engine should be pretty easily portable to xbox 360! Should be perfect for the arcade thing.
