Xbox One and Kinect

The Xbox One is an eighth-generation console produced by Microsoft in 2013. Early in its life, it was heavily criticized for intrusive DRM, such as always-online and lack of used game sharing. These have since been removed. Notably, this console runs on the x86 architecture with a modified Windows OS, so it is essentially a PC.

Emulators

THERE ARE NO EMULATORS THAT CAN RUN COMMERCIAL GAMES PLAYABLY YET.

Emulation issues

Despite this console using the same architecture as PCs, it is not any easier to emulate than other consoles as the architecture used is complex and uses undocumented hardware. We have no way to know for sure because the console is not even hacked yet to a degree that people can look and test stuff and tell for sure, let alone for a full emulator to be written.
