As usual, a money grab. Don't blame either M$ or Sony, but it is a pain. If they can run PS360 games through the cloud, how can they not run an emulator right on the PS4/XB1? Because there is no Money in it for developer's and Sony/M$!

It drives up the costs on hardware.

I wasn't very clear, I meant software emulation.

Needs hardware emulation along with software.  Your looking at an extra $50-$100 if they added them probably.

I won't even begin to say that I am an expert at all.  But, if they can run PS360 games through the cloud, then it can't possibly be that cpu intensive and require the hardware.  Just the bandwidth of the internet/normal connections is too slow.  It will cost them a chunk of money to write the emulation software, but again there is no real money in it for them.  I would think that this is a bigger problem for the PS4 than the XB1.
