And with the way Xbox has been going, a solid Steam Machine could theoretically replace it in the market. Sure, your old discs wouldn't work, but it would have all the Microsoft exclusives anyway. Even Sony exclusives are making it to Steam now.
have old xbox discs really not been cracked? would feel very odd if people hadn't figured out how to run them from regular old CD readers and emulators..
Original Xbox, probably. 360 emulation is still pretty rough. I doubt anyone has a functioning One emulator and definitely not a Series X emulator. Not much interest since almost all of it is on Windows anyway. The only reason I've been watching 360 emulation is for Fable 2.
Also, it's fairly unlikely that Valve would include an optical drive unless they want to license blu ray stuff from Sony.
