Sony Plans XBox Emulation?
« on: March 16, 2001, 05:29:25 PM »
According to a printed report out of Tokyo this morning, Sony is said to be evaluating the possibility of adopting Connectix\'s PlayStation emulation software \'Virtual Game Station\' to Microsoft\'s XBox. Thereby, making the PlayStation software library available on Microsoft\'s forthcoming console. This comes on the heels of Sony\'s announcement yesterday to end their long standing legal dispute with Connectix, and work together on \'advanced emulation programs.\' Sony representatives have yet to respond to the report, we\'ll keep you posted.

It has nothing to do with piracy

It allows PS1 games to be played on anohter system

Sony gets money for every PS1 game sold

Sony was pissed off at other companies emulating there software to competitions consoles and the PC because they didn\'t get their cut. Now they are involved... Shrewd business tactic indeed

You should have posted a PSX pic instead of a PS2.

I think it\'s a good move. Sony makes more money off of PSX and Xbox gets some quality games. :laughing:

I\'m on a roll tonight!
