Can any cortex A execute PowerPC code natively

So you can say run xbox, wii u or old pc code on arm processors without loss.
Which IBM might have some support

Of course it can't, the Cortex A line is ARM, PowerPC is... well, PowerPC. They have completely different instruction sets and although there's always some overlap, I wouldn't call it native support. By the way, the Xbox and PC (I'm assuming you mean IBM Compatible) are both x86, they have nothing to do with PowerPC, I think you might be thinking about old Macs.

I am pretty sure both xbox 360 and wii u use powerpc, and IBM and ARM have shared some tech

He was talking about the original Xbox, since you didn't actually say Xbox 360 in your OP.

Regardless, he'd still be right anyways.
