True but one (collective) would have to start along the same path as the original project. Bare metal virtualization is everywhere and I am not saying that you can emulate a next gen console with an off the shelf chip and ESXi platform.
Does anyone here know for certain that the Xbox One is completely different platform, and impossible to clone with off the shelf components?
What I am saying is that development of a Xbox One emulator would be pointless at this stage. Let Microsoft do all the work in their next retail platform and go from there.
Besides most of the games will be PC based except for their exclusives. The PS4 emulation is not worth the time or effort.
I would be more interested what the Xbox One would be capable of if the protection was bypassed via cloak technology.
