360 games on Windows 8?

So no, it never emulated the PS2 much less perfectly as you described.

You just said the 80GB model emulated the emotion engine...how is that not emulating the ps2?  The games did have glitches, but mostly because Sony had a blanket emulator trying to emulate all PS2 games, at once in such a short amount of time. Not going to be perfect when they do it like that.

I am aware that not in a million years will we see 100% perfect 360 emulation or that we will be able to pop a 360 disc in to a PC and play it like that.

However I can see Xbox live arcade games being emulated along with possibly handful of titles being released on a monthly basis which get uploaded to PC xbox live store (and have to be rebought...its Microsoft afterall).

You're right it did use some emulation, what I meant was that it never emulated the entire system through software and I should have been more clear about that so my apologies. But my point was that at all times the emulation required some of the chipset, and that isn't emulation on the level that we're discussing here (PC emulating entire 360 chipset through software). It takes a huge load off of the host system, and the PS3 is more than capable of emulating any single PS2 processor but we haven't seen it emulating the entire system at this point.

I can see them doing Xbox Live Arcade games as well. I'm guessing it might be better to just make PC ports of certain titles and sell them on a Windows version of Live instead. But they should be easier to emulate since most aren't that graphically intense.
