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:
“Much that is natural, to the will must yield.
Men manufacture both machine and soul,
And use what they imperfectly control
To dare a future from the taken routes.”

“My whole outlook on life changed with those three little words, “The rabbit died.””
