Why would they, Xbox uses a version Windows and an x86 core + AMD GPU, bog standard parts, bog standard system, it's easier to tap into the windows component on an x86 system and just use that to run the games. Making a proper emulator for games that would otherwise run on the PC natively just wouldn't make sense.

    I think this will become true for a lot of the new gen systems in the future (starting from xbox1).
    Same for PS4 maybe running easier on OpenBSD/Unix-like systems by having a similar kernel.

    Will certainly be interesting!
