There may still be JITs and web browsers on consoles.


The 360 didn't open up the ability for titles to generate their own code and run it. Some internal features of the 360 did (the back compat stuff, and some other projects I can't talk about), but in general you couldn't JIT without some special permissions bits.


And presumably once you have those, you're already on the other side of the airtight hatchway and can control the machine directly?
