The fact that it was later bought by Microsoft (and rewritten in C++ so it can run on consoles[1]) is not relevant to the argument that you can, in fact, write a successful and performant game in Java, if you know how.

I’m sure the C++ version is more performant, but that doesn’t strictly mean it was ported for performance. Is there even a JVM on those consoles? I suspect the answer is no and it was easier to remake in C++ than to port OpenJdk to the Xbox 360.
