That means they need to spend time streamlining hundreds of quests and servers to make it as efficient for 360 as PC, since you won't be sharing PC servers. There's a few challenges to making a 360 version, it's not a cup of tea.

well if huxley is smart they will do what Phantasy Star Universe does. In lobby you cant talk through your mic, you can text chat, and if you have a USB keyboard this becomes just as easy as the PC does for text chatting. Then if you are in a party with someone the people in the party can hear your mic. Personally voice chat works a lot better than text does for trades because instead of waiting for them to type in their offer/trades you instantly hear it and can respond.
Seriously you cant say that any platform has more consistent players than another platform. In any game you run into jerks and little kids on any platform, the difference is that on the 360 you can hear them. But along with this comes the mute system where all you have to do is click mute on a player and boom you never have to hear them again.
All the stuff about streamlining quests and making servers work on 360, The 360 is the EASIEST platform to develop games for, multiple gaming studios have said this after developing games at the same time for different platforms. Also do some research before you post facts, 360 users will be able to play with PC players in certain battlefields where the 360 user goes back in time.
Source-"Though the games will be unique, there still are plans for cross-platform interactions. According to Kang, "PC and Xbox 360 players can trade items, battle, and quest in their own respective platform worlds. But in certain areas, crossover is feasible that allows connecting to each other's world. The interface of the two worlds will be through quests in the other's territory or battle-zone and the system will be balanced to allow for the distinctiveness of each platform."
