does anyone know how to make C++ games for the Xbox 360 console. If so can you tell me.

If your programming skills are flawless, then I understand you. Else, you're wasting time. A good game takes a lot of time and a lot of programmers to build it...
Strictly speaking, it's all a matter of getting the Xbox SDK from Microsoft. I estimate the price at a few thousand dollars.

Google turns up more stuff, but I'm too lazy to look through it.

the good news is that Xbox games are made with DirectXyou should maybe email a gaming company or something, I bet they use Microsoft Visual Studio if it involves DX and C++

Actually, they are made with a variant of DX (called DirectX+, IIRC). So, writing straight up DX code doesn't guarantee cross compatability. Bottom line is you need the SDK CornedBee pointed out.
You could always use XNA. However, it uses C# and is somewhat limited.

Various games on the Xbox Live Arcade are made with XNA studio, and some of them are not made by a large bodied staff, so it's not a pipe dream to make a game on a smaller scale.
Microsoft was going to release free xbox 360 development kits for anyone with a copy of Windows XP SP2 or so I heard, though it uses C#.
My computer is awesome.
You need XNA Game Studio Express and Visual C# 2005 Express.
Then free your fantasy!
