Yup, nobody has the design documents of the hardware so there isn't an emulator in working state. Microsoft should have them so it's feasible.

I always figured PC had to be coming, much bigger deal than Xbox BC really.

PLEASE BE OG XBOX SUPPORT!!! PC support is nice too and though I would never use it, it gives other people a great option.
That would be Monday, November 7th - Mass Effect Day.
He's talking about Saturday, November 12th.

OG Xbox support would be amazing.
So would a PC port of the emulator, of course, but that's an E3 tier bombshell. Frankly, I'd settle for ME2/3 on BC.

Came to post this.
PC support should be a no-brainer technically...presumably they've already done work on every single BC game to make it work within a wrapper (maybe an oversimplification, but you get it) on XBOne, the adjustments from there to much stronger hardware on PC should be straightforward. Releasing third party games from publishers that might be cannibalizing their PC port sales, on the other hand, is probably a serious roadblock for that functionality. Publishers who chose to allow their games to be BC on XBOne are almost overwhelmingly those who had no plans to do remasters and sell more copies on modern platforms, but PC games sales are another question completely. Lots of game ports from the 360 era can still sell for $20-$50 on steam, that would be a significant financial decision for every third party publisher who has PC ports.

I would say so.
im assuming that MS would've shares their future plans with publishers ahead of time. You just don't randomly decide to do things without running it by publishers
I wonder how they accomplish 360 BC so well on Xbox One as it is. It's their own system, so they have all the information they need, but from what we understand, it sounds like all the 360 functionality on Xbox One is emulated via software, and it seems to be perfect. Unless they are somehow use the hardware to make the One think it's a 360 or something...I don't know.

I'd buy a XB1 S in appreciation for OG Xbox BC. That'd be a great move for MS...

Being able to keep you're entire history of Xbox games forever playable on one console in perpetuity?
Yeah, kind of a big deal.
It won't be PC support guys, it's one of the best features of the Xbox console. Besides, if it was PC, it would be behind the Windows Store so then the cycle begins again:
*Microsoft giff your games on PC you bitches
*Microsoft puts games on PC
*Ewww Microsoft you douchbags Windows Store hisss booo you can keep your games, fuckers
It will be OG Xbox probably.

Original Xbox games would be really neat but I expect a big announcement of anticipated games honestly.
For real though

OG Xbox support would be awesome especially so close to the 15th anniversary of the console.

I would be underwhelmed by a huge announcement being 360 to PC personally but it would be great for those that want it.
They have been pretty quiet since E3, actually a little disappointed in them considering they skipped Gamescom, still no PlayStation type event of their own either.

if xbone bc had tales of vesperia support, i would have bought one over a 260
Right, and those publishers would have said no. Hence why I don't think BC will be announced for Windows 10 anytime soon.
