It looks like Microsoft is cracking down hard for those found using emulators on the Xbox console lineup.

I mean, if you want to do emulation there's better/cheaper ways to do it than an Xbox, but at least the option is there in some form.

I totally agree but it just reminded me of a discussion I had with someone here a couple weeks ago where they talked about the "great advancements" Microsoft has made in the console space compared to Sony and this was one of their primary arguments.

To be fair, is there any amount of extra money you could pay on PlayStation to do the same thing?

Theres better but there really isn’t cheaper. An Xbox Series S is $300. That’s a controller and a very relatively good APU even if it’s artificially limited.

I have a MiSTer FPGA and it definitely cost more than $300 and it cannot emulate anything newer that PS1 or Sega Saturn.
