Only way I can see this working is through onlive or similar online service. I dont know much about this stuff but I hear that its next to impossible to make tri core power PC architecture run on x86. But then again, windows 8 will support arm too. Maybe Microsoft found the magic coolade...

I don't know how the hell they'll do this either.

A C2D w/a Geforce 8800 GTX sometimes has trouble with emulating the freaking PS2. How more powerful than the PS2 is it? LOTS. (friends' PC ;)

While the 360 is FAR more PC-like than the PS2, it's too powerful to emulate I think.

To be fair, PS2 was emulated by the PS3 perfectly which is much less powerful than PCs today. So it is more likely possible if you are the manufacturer of the console and you have access to things most people don't.

Also, the Dolphin emulator for Wii/Gamecube is a piece of art. It makes Wii games look better than PS3 and 360 games do on fairly non demanding hardware. Come to think of it, Power PC architecture is used in nintendo Wii and that is being emulated fine...so this may not be impossible.
