NVIDIA Technology has been licensed by Microsoft to be used in its next gen Console, but its said that tinkering with the softwear will still be required. Following the announcement, sources close to the company indicated that a form of recompilation (known as "transcompilation") would be required to make Xbox games work on the 360, with the resulting patched executables being shipped on the system's hard drive for certain popular games, and patched versions of other games gradually being added over the Xbox Live network, which we will soon come to know as emulation profiles. Microsoft says its goal is to make every game backward compatible with its new console that was never intended to have this feature.
