Yep. Came across allot of people on this forum who said Xbox 360/Playstation 3 emulation would be impossible for at-least a decade, here we are today with functioning emulators and those consoles are still on the market.

Ironically... Those same people also tried to convince me that emulation on the Xbox One/Playstation 4 would be impossible.

Sucks being right all the time, right fatslob?

Also had one user a few years ago try and convince me that x86 CPU's would never hit 4ghz either... Haha
He was pretty hostile towards me when AMD released a 4Ghz chip and was convinced it wasn't real.

Still, emulation is a *good* thing for the industry. Heck it is probably a good thing for the Wii U as a platform as well, more people that buy Wii U games... The better, in my opinion.
Nintendo could do with every sale they can get.

Emulation of the PS4 and Xbox One would be pretty hard considering the laggard that is gfx APIs. We'd need DX12 to update it's feature set to be much nearer to consoles or maybe we won't get that until DX13! Current AMD GPU architectures are prepared for 8th gen console emulation but not so easily for others since there is already IHV asymmetric behaviour in Cemu! 

It does suck being right but it sucks even more when your getting called out for it ...  

Funny story about not being able to hit 4GHz when we've had 5GHz CPUs ever since the POWER6 CPUs from 2007 ... 

I think emulation isn't good or bad for the industry personally since obsolescence usually strikes console gaming pretty fast before we achieve decent compatibility to be able to motivate game publishers to do reprints en masse ...
