There's reason to believe that the next Xbox will just be a PC with a coat of paint, the same way that the Steam Deck is, and so this preservation team would, in that case, probably be built to legitimately emulate the Xbox 360 on PC, because that's where the biggest compatibility gap is.
Man, what if they released it and just threw the 360 catalog onto a store somewhere like steam.
Hell, I'd use the Microsoft app store for that option.
