No. It would put way too much strain on the hardware trying to render all that terrain. By the time you explore a few weeks' worth in your world, frame drops and crashes would be imminent.
No. The Xbox is not like the PC it has much worse hardware and would not be capable to handle infinite worlds.
you're still under the assumption that pc hardware and 360 hardware are similar, they are not. the 360 hardware out performs the equivalent pc hardware because of the optimizations to it specific for gaming.
xbox software is good xbox in my opinion can handle alot just as good as a computer.
Obviously you know nothing about computer hardware. Considering that the Xbox is 6 years behind current technology, it cannot run as good as a PC and can't even come close to handling infinite worlds. Its' "gaming optimizations" don't make up for it either, you can't have a 6 year old system outperform a higher-end modern system no matter how hard you try.
lol Its funny reading how people justify their answer when they have no understanding of computer hardware or software.
Also, Everybody knows that Minecraft worlds arent technically infinite, but a 64000*64000 km area comes pretty close.
Yeah, I'm not sure why people are asking to include infinite terrain in Minecraft. I doubt they can inhabit every part of the world, considering how huge it already is.

Yes, but the optimizations are being put onto a system with 6 year old hardware. Even if it does outperform a PC with equivalent specs, it will still not be able to handle as much as a higher-end modern PC could.
As much as I hear people say the xbox 360 is 6 years behind, If you take a look at the specs they aren't that bad compared to the average computer minecrafters use (besides the ram). Microsoft built the 360 to last as long until the launch of a new system. The 360 was purposely built for gaming and has what it takes to play Minecraft even if it has to cut the world down. If you feel like running hours on end in one direction, jump on the computer. By the time you reach the end of the world you would have passed over every type of biome hundreds of times. No the 360 can't compete with high end models, but most people don't have those computers so it doesn't matter.

I'm not at all saying that the Xbox's hardware is horribly horrid, even if it is 6 years old. It can still handle today's games perfectly and still look pretty good in the process. But it can't come close to handling infinite worlds. The PC version can't even handle that much, which is why I'm getting a little irritated by some people because they keep saying that it is possible on an Xbox 360.
These are probably the same people with lower end system such as myself. They see the 360 as a magical piece of hardware and compared to what they play on, it kinda is. If anything the new Microsoft Console will support bigger resolutions even though it would be pointless.
Minecraft has never been infinite.
Why can't you people get that through your thick skulls?
This ^
MC360 will never have infinite worlds. It can't handle it, anymore than the PC can. Why do you idiot kids keep bringing this up?
Nevermind- I just answered my own question.
If it really has "infinite" worlds, how would you know?
Place a torch, start walking due west.
Let us know after six months of walking 8 hours a day if you ever see your torch again.
We'll wait....

Pointless?
That reminds me of that old BC comic: "If the object of golf is to get the lowest score, then why play?"
