[quote]The information came as part of a talk given by Frank Savage, Partner Development Lead at Microsoft on the Xbox One's use of Windows technology as part of the annual Microsoft Build Developer conference this week attended by Kotaku Australia. They report that during a Q&A session, an audience member asked if Microsoft had any plans to introduce Xbox 360 emulation to the new console. Savage responded in the affirmative, although it still may be quite a while to go before we see it, saying "There are, but we're not done thinking them through yet, unfortunately. It turns out to be hard to emulate the PowerPC stuff on the X86 stuff. So there's nothing to announce, but I would love to see it myself."[/quote] So, they're definitely working on it, but it won't be for a while until it comes to the market, because it's hard to emulate the PowerPC architecture (which we knew already). This should have been a thing to begin with, but either way, I'm glad that Microsoft is finally working on it. With this news, I'm sure that Sony will start working on native PS3 emulation for the PS4 in order to compete with the Xbox One. If Microsoft comes out with Xbox 360 emulation before Sony can come out with PS3 emulation, those console sales numbers may very well get flip-flopped in no time. Who knows, I could be wrong, but this is very exciting news.
