While the virtual machine code will of course improve, the later in the gen the games were released, the more demanding they are, so it makes me a bit sceptical to how, for instance, Halo 4 would run.

What could be really interesting though, would be if next gen, MS releases an official 360 emulator for PC (considering they are likely to ditch xbox next gen). Sell the software (the emulator) itself for 60$, and games for anything between 5 and 10 dollars a piece.

Essencially its an emulator.

I think that we can't affirm that yet. However, as the architecture is wildly different, I think that we are looking at an emulator here. But it could also be an hybrid hypervisor layer that does a combo of emulator and VM.
