Microsoft is thinking about Xbox 360 emulation on the Xbox One
Speaking at Microsoft's Build developer conference in San Francisco last week, as attended by Kotaku, Savage replied to queries regarding whether the company has plans for Xbox 360 emulation on the Xbox One.
"There are [plans]," he said. "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."
Since the console's release in November last year, Microsoft has not announced firm plans for either emulation or backwards compatibility.
While Sony intends to support backwards compatibility using its Gaikai-powered PlayStation Now service, a Microsoft spokesperson said in November that a similar service is unlikely to come to the Xbox One, citing the difficulty of managing the quality of the service.
"It's really cool and really problematic, all at the same time, insofar as it's really super cool if you happen to have the world's most awesome internet connection. It works way better than you'd expect it to," Albert Penello said at the time.
