In a response to someone in the audience at Microsoft's Build developer conference, Frank Savage confirmed plans being made that would allow users to play their 360 games on Xbox One.

 

AUDIENCE MEMBER: "Are there plans for an Xbox 360 emulator on Xbox One?"

 

SAVAGE: "There are, but we’re not done thinking them through yet, unfortunately. It turns out to be hard to emulate the PowerPC stuff on the X86 stuff. So there’s nothing to announce, but I would love to see it myself."

 

How long will we have to wait for this functionality? We don't know just yet, but seeing as this was one of the many complaints surrounding the Xbox One, its good to know work is being made towards this 'problem.'

 

This is good news for gamers who want to enjoy both Xbox One titles and Xbox 360 Titles without the hassle of switching out consoles.

 

Will the ability to play your Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One be enough to decide your purchase? Let us know in the comments below.

It will definately make me want to get one. I have lots of games that I love on my 360 and if Xbox One will allow me to play them I will gladly buy one.

DOSBox is the PC operating system emulator, it allows us to play old games.

Unfortunately Microsoft is only going as far as Xbox360, and not the original Xbox. This is understandable as emulating the original Xbox would just be a nightmare, but it would still be nice.
