Most stories are based on tales and myths and ancient descriptions of dragons.

People write stories because they want to. I know that realism is a real sticky point with some people but REALLY people write stories about lots of stuff that doesn't exist, about people that don't exist. Its called fiction and it's the most popular writing that there is.

Many people will mistake large reptiles and other creatures for dragons, and the description gets 'spiced' up as it is passed on, until it comes to a writer as a large reptilian beast that breaths fire and flies, then, who doesn't want to write about that?

Do dinosaur and dragon are the same?

Dragons are fictional creatures. They usually have wings, hind limbs, and arms; no real vertebrates have six limbs. Dragons are often depicted breathing fire; no organism could do that. Dinosaurs were real reptiles. The myths of dragons may have come from ancient people looking at dinosaur fossils without knowing how to interpret the fossils. After all, the much of a dragon's body looks like that of a theropod, with the addition of a pterosaur's wings and sometimes horns and frill, like a ceratopsian.

Is there any dragon games for xbox or xbox360?

There are not many games for the 360 that include Dragons in them, however one that jumps to mind is Dragon Age: Origins. Dragon Age II, which also includes dragons, will be released on March 8,2011. In the latter part of 2011 the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be released. It has been confirmed that you will be able not only to see dragons in this game, but also fight and summon them. Skyrim also looks extremely great, so if you are looking for a good visual experience as well then this would be a good choice for you to look more into. It will be released on November 11,2011.
