Future Outlook
As the console systems progress into more and more complexity, the importance of HLE approach increases. Modern (6th and 7th generation) video consoles are already far too complex and powerful to facilitate their emulation using the traditional approach. Additionally, some systems (notably Xbox) are themselves little more than a standardised PC machine, making it wasteful to try to recreate the hardware using PC as the host machine. Thus, HLE increasingly becomes the only sensible approach.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or outlook:
“Perfect present has no existence in our consciousness. As I said years ago in Erewhon, it lives but upon the sufferance of past and future. We are like men standing on a narrow footbridge over a railway. We can watch the future hurrying like an express train towards us, and then hurrying into the past, but in the narrow strip of present we cannot see it. Strange that that which is the most essential to our consciousness should be exactly that of which we are least definitely conscious.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Even in ordinary speech we call a person unreasonable whose outlook is narrow, who is conscious of one thing only at a time, and who is consequently the prey of his own caprice, whilst we describe a person as reasonable whose outlook is comprehensive, who is capable of looking at more than one side of a question and of grasping a number of details as parts of a whole.”
—G. Dawes Hicks (1862–1941)
