No matter what it meant, it *should* mean "bye bye PPC". While I totally like backwards compatibility, it did almost nothing for WiiU so they should go with a different solution. I don't see emulation happening, too. |
This idea of no BC because of a shift towards PC architecture is pure PR bullshit. Right now, on this PC I'm typing on, I can play Mario Kart Wii. Emulation doesn't seem to be such a hard thing at all. What IS a hard thing? Trying to get people to double dip on prior gens games when you give them the ability to play their original discs on your new console.
If MS and/or Sony wanted to make their latest consoles play old games, they could have done it. They didn't want to.

Nice you can emulate a Wii? Full-speed? Than you have a very good CPU. I don't want to go deeper but emulation needs a lot of power in terms of CPU cycles. And WiiU has 3x Wii + more speed which makes your PC emulating a Wii absolutely impossible. And PCs in 2-3 years, too. And with this, even high-end PCs are meant.
Emulation *is* a hard thing to do. Always was and always will be.
