Yeah for technical levels no one sure (heck even this announcement still shredded in mystery ) No one able to claim this in 2013. Even then many experts already has some observation and explain how difficult for x86 to emulate on software level even on high end PC spec, more so on console which is on medium spec. I am just assuming this kind of backward is the same with how PS2 and PS1 worked on PS3 PS Network. Because Phil Spencer said we have to download the games even using physical copies. 

We don't know exactly why you need to download them. Perhaps it's a restriction of the VM they use. Perhaps it doesn't work with discs or the drive is not good enough to stream DVD content but is more targeted at Bluray streaming. Either way, we could compare how big the games are on 360 and how big they turn out to be on Xbox One to make educated guesses if they recompile while we don't know if every game will ship with an additional binary for translation, of course.

Thats why everything it's still in specualtion and theory, even if they able to emulate that, it will be a hell of jobs there, I am not saying it's imposible but making one games work on stable frame rate is a hell of work, so i am just make some assumptions. But then again only some portion of games work for now. But nevertheless i am applause Microsoft for doing this.
