There's no way the Xbox 3 will have BC. If the rumors are correct, we're dealing with an x86 machine, so the 360 would have to be completely emulated. That's just not possible with current hardware. Even on High-End PCs, 360 emulators don't run - they don't even exist because XBox 1 Emulators aren't running smoothly either.

Every single game would have to be ported over and you can bet that those titels won't be free of charge. Just sayin', this next generation, BC won't be significant at all. It will simply not exist except for the Wii U. But if MS and Sony stick to x86 for good, PS5 and Xbox 4 will have BC no doubt. But with the change of architecture, it's just not possible.

Unless of course Microsoft decides to build 360 components into the Xbox 3. But that would add a hell lot of cost to the system and would also make it bigger, since it will need more power and a bigger cooling solution. So I doubt it, 'cause as already said, only very few customers see a value in BC. It wouldn't justify the investment.
