Please point out where in that video they say they have a PowerPC chip inside Xbox One to support Xbox 360 HW? How does the x86 chip contain PowerPC instructions?? Microsoft are basically running a the equivalent of HiperVisor Virtual Machine for each console they support. The guy in the video specifically says "Microsoft has a FULL emulation layer (meaning NO HW) for XBox One that makes the system believe that it IS an Xbox 360". He also points out the PowerPC code is converted to an intermediary language then recompiled for x86 so it running a close to full speed as possible. Please watch the video again from about 1 minute in and try to understand fully what is being said.
So...as I mentioned in my original post, since it is all running in software, in theory you could run it on any PC, that has enough CPU/GPU power. Hell if Microsoft made the code available, it could be ported to PS4 and you'd have the whole Xbox library running on the PS4 or PS5!!
