Microsoft is working on technology for emulation of legacy Xbox games on modern platforms, according to a job listing.
Richard Bailey Jr. of The Koalition writes: 007 First Light dominated the video game news headlines when it was revealed by IO Interactive earlier this week. Described as a story-driven third-person action-adventure game highlighting a reimagined origin story of the most iconic world spy, it’s easy to understand why there is so much universal excitement for this project.

"Technology for emulation" LOOOL
The tech is there, just have to use it. What they need to work out is the licensing of these old games which are usually a huge headache.
Sounds like a waste of time, I can count on one hand how many legacy Xbox games exist.
So now that Xbox is putting their games on PlayStation, will Sony now be willing to share their blueprint for the PS6 with MS. I remember them saying, something like, if MS were to buy Activision they would not share that info with Activision in fear MS would use that information to then change their plans for their own future console, to make it more powerful than whatever Sony had planned.
On topic: this technology on different modern platforms I guess would also include any PlayStation, but when would Sony reciprocate and start releasing games on Xbox. What games would they release? Current gen or a previous generation to gauge how well they sell.
