Well in the manga Wakaki drew the 360 in Keima's dream, so it's just being faithful to the source. Unlikely MS actually paid either, the 360 is known as the loser otaku machine in Japan in the first place, so it's just reflecting reality.

Also there's definitely way more VNs on the 360, but that's actually bad omen as in Japan only the worse selling consoles gets all the VN ports and games. It's a downward spiral when the console maker loosen up their game publishing criteria and fees which then only attracts the small publishers whom are nearly always the VN makers. This happened with nearly every "failed" console you can name in Japan each generation ever since graphics were good enough to make decent VNs - PC-Engine CD-ROM (lost to Super Nintendo and Mega Drive), Sega Saturn (lost to Playstation), PC-FX (lost to Playstation & Saturn), Sega Dreamcast (lost ot PS2), and now the Xbox360 (lost to Wii and PS3). And also to an extent the PSP (lost to the NDS, only prop up by Monster Hunter and its clones, and now you get a flood of anime tie-ins).
