Probably not, as both Xbox and Playstation don't support any tesselation technique (AFAIK).

Currently, consoles are holding back game engine development for cross platform engines.

tessellation is so 2009, all we need is more cubes in minecraft

Comparing single polygons with bump maps to tessellation, really? That level of exaggeration is beyond retarded, it doesn't compare a game without tessellation to one that has it, at all.

XBox doesnt use the same DX version as PC! So it remains that Xbox 360 is theoretically capable of tessellation, but i doubt that it is fast enough...

The Xbox 360 is not capable of DX11 Tesselation.

XBOX360's GPU Xenos has a tesselation engine:

The 360 does have a tessellation unit(although not DX11-tessellation). Games that are known to use it are Halo Wars, Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts and Viva Pinata.

Check out the state of the industry. Then look up "ignorance".
