(Video above) [quote]You might think emulators only exist for retro consoles, and for the most part that's true, but we might some day be seeing PS4 and Xbox One games - regardless of the legality of the move - on a PC near you. For the last decade or so, emulating new console games has been almost impossible. Xbox 360 and PS3 code was so unique to their respective consoles, and required such a degree of computing power from a PC, that no working emulators for either console were ever released. But speaking with Slashdot, software engineer Ben Vanik - who builds emulators in his spare time - says that the newest console's decision to stick to a very PC-like architecture, with x-86 chips and AMD graphics processors, means that this could soon change. "It would be easier to create a PS4 or Xbox One emulator within the next year or so than it would be to create a PS3 or Xbox 360 emulator that ran at the speed of the device," he says.[/quote] I have already stated the obvious, but let's still talk about this anyways. Since the new consoles are x86, it'll make developing an emulator for them MUCH easier than ever before, and ALSO because they're x86 based, whenever an emulator for the consoles are made, they won't require an insane hardware setup to run. You will probably just need a PC with the equivalent specs of an Xbox One and PS4. (Which isn't that hard and you can build a computer of the same hardware tier for fairly cheap.) Thoughts on current-gen console emulation?
