THIS! Getting XBMC on Windows 8.1 and Xbox would be insane. I can't see it though, they have not seemed that interested in 8.1.

If I understand correctly, it would be a new porting job. New work requires new people, as existing devs are most often already busy with existing tasks.

Are we really talking about a port? Would it be possible to submit the xbmc windows app? Maybe with some slight modifications (if any)?

It would be a port. This isn't Microsoft adding win32 support to the xbox, this is Microsoft having standard APIs for building for Windows 8, Windows Phone, Xbox, etc.

If XBMC was an app on Xbox One I would purchase an Xbox One.

Why would MS not be interested in having XBMC? That would make the Xbox One the one device you need.

Updates to this topic:
Xbox One will be running Windows 10
Universal App SDKs are being published this Spring with the first batch of apps expected by Summer
Every Xbox One can soon be turned into Dev Mode, giving you a $350 dev kit
In light of that, I see no organizational reasons why Kodi shouldn't come to the console. There will be technical work, I know, but to continue to ignore this built-in market and leave it to Plex seems a bad decision.

skywalker993, do not make basically the same post in multiple areas of the forum, such behaviour is more likely to hinder your cause than help it.
