We can already run x86 code on ARM, that wont be a viable backwards compatibility excuse for next gen consoles. Xbox and Playstation may try to claim it is a reason, but it will be clear cut bull shit from the start.

Console makers will have little to no incentive to crate or maintain a compatibility layer or emulator. They want to charge extra for it.
