X-Box Emulating Playstation

I found out this out there, though I really wonder how serious such an issue can be.

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.

Sony doesn't seem to be able to win in any of these emulation cases. Maybe they'll ask for a little bit of reimbursement for each "Virtual Game Station" sold. It can only drive the sales of the old PSOne games up, so Sony might actually make money on this.
