According to a press release earlier this month (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/448095/world-of-tanks-xbox-360-edition-release-date-confirmed/), the console version is "custom built specifically for the Xbox 360".

It will be released as a digital downloadable and is free-to-play for those with an Xbox Live Gold subscription.
Silver Xbox Live account holders will be given access to a seven-day timed trial of World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition when they download it.
World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition will also feature in-game purchases such as premium tanks, consumables and premium accounts to boost experience and currency accrual rates.
World of Tanks features 15-on-15 player armoured warfare. In 2012, the game's developer Wargaming said its revenue stood at 218 million euros for 2013 - an indication of the intense popularity of the franchise.
Last year, Wargaming CEO Victor Kislyi said World of Tanks is likely to make its way to Xbox One (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/426390/wargaming-eyes-xbox-one-for-world-of-tanks/) once the console has a viable user base for a free-to-play business model.
"I see no reason why we won't eventually do next-gen," he said at the time.
