That would be quite the undertaking though, and I'm not sure how financially viable it would be, especially the work that would need to be done in the original XC (and because these series do little more than reference each other, unless there is some underlying connection they will eventually reveal). But hell, it would be an awesome thing to see done!

Not necessarily.  For XCX, it would only need to upres some textures and fix all the draw distance issues in NLA. 

XC would be a bigger undertaking, but not as big as it seems.  The folliage is surprisingly well done from a polygonal perspective as well as density.  Because of the techniques used for it, you could, again, mainly just increase texture resolution considerably.  Landscape polygonal detail is also pretty dang good.  Where the hard work would come in is smaller detail meshes (props, small structures, etc) and of course character models.  However, if the animations could still be used with the new models, that would save some time.  So it's still very much possible. 

I thought there were more issues to porting than that which is why the NX isn't backwards compatible in any form. Could be an architectual barrier which makes it vastly harder.
