What would happen if MS announced that the 360 could play PS2 games??

I doubt they could announce it.  Someone making a PS2 emulator could probably rig one to work on a 360 if they really felt like it... framerates would be horrible though.

What people don't realize is that emulators have to emulate the system.

Its still up in the air whether the 360 and PS3 would have enough juice to emulate the other "half" of the PS2.... AND play games at a good framerate.

 

and there might be a lawsuit or two filed?

Emulators are perfectly legal.

To my knowledge anyway.

Infact plenty of oldschool systems emulated Atari games i believe.

Like coleecovision or something did.

Unless they've changed the laws since then it'd be perfectly legal... it'd just make it look like you had no faith in your own product.

 

I doubt it you could legally run PS2 emulators on the 360, you can only run SNES, NES and N64 emulators on the PSP through CFW and illegal hacking, I don't see this being any different, MS would not get themselves in a position where they would have to give Sony a lot of money.

No seriously, it's legal.  Or at least it was back in the day.  One of the really old systems around the Atari era played a completly different companys games.

It's just... why do that when most companies lose money on sales, or make a minor profit... and all the liscensing for those games would go to your competitor.
