This was M$es revenge on Sony for that silly commercial they made about trading and borrowing games. It woke up the sleeping giant and since they are a software company at heart, they went all out to shame PS Now. Even saying play your 360 games for free is a jab at paying for backwards compatibility. I've said it before, if MS really wanted to they can make the Xbone have local BC of they tried hard enough.

I was listening to the show with a coworker who is a PlayStation fanboy, like me, and both of our jaws dropped. The first thing he said was, "I'm going to have to get an Xbox One now" he is also a big Mass Effect fan and seeing it being played made him mad. He said, "Why does Xbox always get the good stuff? Sony needs to step up their game."

For the people that are saying it's no big deal, Wii U has it, PS3 had it. It is a big deal. Last generation brought gamer scores and achievements. Xbox 360 games still hold value due to that. Wii games and PS2 games mostly hold nostalgia.

I have 2TBs of digital 360 games that still need to be played. Having digital rights to those games hold even greater value now, since they carry over to Xbone.


So now its cool to play old games even though most games are not and may never be supported? MS even said that it is up to the devs themselves and I doubt many third parties will be on board when it does not benefit them financially. This announcement is for playing a few old games and does not make the X1 stand out for games specifically on the console and even the indie games accounced were for Windows 10 too.It is not a big deal since the Wiiu has sold poorly and people did not flock to the PS3 when it had it.That 2TB of 360 games you have is not suppoprted by the X1 and may never be supported.Even if they were it would take years to make that many games compatible.Take a step back and think about the logic for one minute.People are caught up in the possibilities instead of the realiy.
