Can MS & Sony just simply make next gen fully BC?

Perhaps you're right, the only thing we know so far is the PC emulator needs a lot of improvements before we can really start playing the most technically demanding games at full speed.

You would be surprised how fast things are improving.
If I was a betting man... Uncharted 1,2 and 3 will likely be fully playable in the next 12 months on even slow CPU's like the Ryzen 3 2200G, it already is on higher end systems.

On a side note, I just noticed the Wii U and 360 are both using Tri Core PowerPC CPUs. Thus far is Cemu is the most efficient emulator running graphics at par of 7th gen. Still requires a good CPU to get a game like BotW running at a locked 30 fps though. If anything, it gives an idea of what CPU is needed for brute force emulation.

The WiiU, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 CPU's, whilst they might all be PowerPC derived... Are all pretty different from each other.

The WiiU's CPU though has allot more modern features, which is why that chip can translate so well.

I don't think the emulator will ever get so efficient that a 2200G will give performance at par with the native hardware in the most technically demanding games. But I do think it will eventually get to a point where a 2200G makes games playable if optimization continues to improve like the Cemu emulator. Which is good news, Sony could launch the PS3 Mini in a few years with relatively inexpensive specs.
