Not exactly related to Sony. Chief-Craig system could've been used though but needed more degrees.

Probably in the lower to middle income countries. Would result in quite a loss for xbox though if they dont subscribe to gamepass as well since the consoles itself is sold at a loss or break even price.

I use my PC for most emulation when I get an itch for an old game. Surprisingly though, it's the Xbox's old catalog where it has not been emulated perfectly like the PS2s and GameCubes. You literally have to buy an Xbox to play the old Xbox stuff.

I don't think so, average joe public will probably still be largely oblivious to what it even is.

For those in the know, a nice bonus, no doubt.

Maybe it'll be a good number to market for those who might want to invest? They can keep hiding certain sales like they do anyway. "Xbox units are on the up and up in X countries!"

That's what I'm thinking. Do underground marketing for it. Do that shadow marketing to those countries like how they got FCC'd in the US but since they're in a different region, maybe the rules are different and a boon to Xbox.

I wonder if people realise that the Xbox One also was able to run Retroarch?

How competent is it compared to Series? I'm not really in the emu scene and I do wonder if it's become even more niche since the rise of f2p mobile gaming.

@rzxv04: Emulation on the Series machines is much better as it is more powerful. But we are talking of emulation of retro consoles not a jailbreak or anything like that. No one is going to stop buying games or signing to Gamepass because their $300/500 machine is able to run some PS2 games okish.

Is it able to run PS2 and PS3/360 games at 30 fps stable? And when I say PS3/360 games.. emulated ones that is.

@rzxv04: No PS3 or 360 emulation.
