Basically that means that you need 1-10x more power than a PS3 to emulate a PS3. Something like The Last of Us will be a few years away. The CPU in the PS3 is really a lot more powerful than some give it credit for. The PCs are in the lower area of 1-10x. We aren't quite at 10x even.
And even regardless of that, the software just isn't there yet. 9 years after the launch of the Xbox 360, and 1 year after the launch of this emulator, and this is where we a...
Doubtful.
Xenia came out a year ago, and is only running games like this. 10 years? Doubt it'll take that long, but I fully expect it to take longer than 2 years.
A game like RDR will be further off.
There are usually 2 difficulties with programming.
One: hardware, usually has to be much much better than the target platform.
Two: software, the quality of the software can greatly impact the quality of the hardware required.
So could the X1 emulate the 360?
Probably not, but I'm not going to straight out say no, and here's why. The second reason is easy to take care of for MS. They built the console and know all the ins and...
Overall, I get the sense that the reviewer just doesn't know what to do and is criticizing that. Silly thing to criticize. I'm going to guess that the full game will have a tutorial of some sort, so for this, it's a non-issue.
Moving onto this, this part doesn't make any sense.
"it still doesn’t help the fact that it is sluggish, slow and absolutely boring. This could’ve been different if the game would run at 60 frames per second, but Ready...

Those i3s have 2 cores + hyperthread = 4 threads.
Most games are actually only made with one core in mind for whatever reason. The IPC is much higher on intel CPU's so even a dual core i3 will beat a quad core FX for most games. BattleField 4 is made with more cores in mind so the FX-8350 will actually get close to the higher end i7s.
A CPU's clock isn't the end all of performance.
Clockrate, IPC, number of cores together give a pretty good idea about performance. A Pentium 3 at 1.0 Ghz will beat a 1.3 Ghz Pentium 4. Much higher clock rate, newer CPU and it loses.
The CPU on the new consoles are very disappointing, but they should be good enough. The GPU is where most of the stuff matters. The GPU's are decent on both consoles. And can actually overcome some of the shortcomings of the CP...
I never had to sign for a UPS package.
They've always just dropped it off.
