MrCkurab said: As some people seem to believe that they NEED to use Power Architecture for backwards compatibility, let me tell you: Thats wrong! Yes, PowerPC would make it easier, as they could pretty much just feed the old code into the system tweak one or two things and it would work, but they would have to use PowerPC which, at this point, is probably the worst choice of them all. I hope this explanation cleaned up some possible misunderstandings! I personally hope and believe that they wont use a PowerPC architecture, but am still hoping for emulation-driven backwards compatibility, though that might only come later in the consoles lifecycle just Virtual Console on Wii or Xbox One BC. |
While it's true they don't need a POWER chip for BC. I really want to know what your problem with the POWER architecture is.
