Well, if Xbox 4 will be able to run 360 games (which it probably will) then they will be on one console.

Probably will, according to who? I would say almost definately won't because emulating such powerful hardware is nigh on impossible on any PC hardware even now, next xbox won't be using GPU or CPU any powerful than a maximum of 1 generation ahead of now, keeping the legacy hardware in the box would be completely impractical in terms of heat, even die shrinks can't do anywhere near as much as they could say from PS2 days.

IMO, not the slightest chance of backward compatibility, I'm pretty certain.

That's pretty ridiculous tbh. Everyone knows that backwards compatibility is one (if not "the") most wanted feature when buying new hardware.
