" If it's actually emulation, why are you calling it backward compatibility?

We call it backward compatibility because gamers can play select Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One. However, referring to this functionality as an emulator is more accurate from a technology perspective since the Xbox One is not technically reading and playing the 360 game off of a disc."

Then i guess that statement anwers my curiosity, that's how it worked, it's the same with how PS2 and PS1 emulation worked on PS3 PSNetwork. 

 

And how did they work? To my knowledge Sony made emulators for PS1 and PS2 for PS3. Hackers ripped them even out so you could try to use these emulators with games which weren't allowed to be played/bought.

that's will be on another question tho, but it's not pure emulator like PCSX on PC  it's more like PS3 software emulation on PS Network, but for sure the game it self is recreated with the same aset and worked with XBox one API, I am not calling port but they just re use the game  VM under Xbox One API.
