You don't. But the Xbox hardware is exactly the same, except that the
Xbox hardware is about 1.5 to 2 generations out of date now.
An Xbox is a non-upgradeable PC that runs only the games that Microsoft
releases for it. If you have a PC that can run modern games, you'd be
foolish to buy an Xbox, unless there are titles which you absolutely
must have on the Xbox that never will be ported to the PC; it'd be a
waste of money.
