[quote]The demo that crashed on the pc was an xbox 360 emulator so it still had the exact same graphics as the 360. The reason it crashed was probably because of an unstable emulator.[/quote]
If you look closely at the icons, you will see that one of the reads xbox 360 neighborhood, which basically allows for developers to stream footage from the dev version of the 360 to a pc. So in fact, the game was not run as you say on "an emulator on the pc" but run on an xbox 360 developer console streaming a live feed to the pc, which was probably capturing the gameplay for future press materials and also allowing for IGN to broadcast the footage.
I hope this clears up some ambiguities.
