I just thought of something.  What if MS made the X Box2 backwards compatible
to the PS2?  The current X-Box is fast enough to mostly emulate N64 games, so
if they were going to write an emulator for XB1, why stop there?

Would the fact that the playstations use MIPS processors instead of X86 make
emulation much more difficult?  (More registers, etc.)  Is the PS2 architecture
just so whacked that it would be a serious PITA to try to emulate it on
anything?
