Forward compatibility? Didn't you just explain backwards compatibility?

Because I'm sure the 360 upscales Xbox 1 games to make them look "better" on the system. Forward compatability would mean the Xbox 4 games would be playable on the Xbox 3.

Also, don't your other comments contradict themselves.

What use is blu-ray if everything will be on the HDD. You could just use 10 DVD's and install it. AND what's the use of Blu-ray on a system that allows game downloads over the internet?

About Blu-ray: I agree with you, depending on how much penetration Blu-ray has before the next big media arrives. I mean, aside from increased storage, Blu-ray doesn't offer much else better than the standard dvd. If the next format reads faster and is bigger than the standard DVD, chances are blu-ray will not even have a reign as the premier media format.

He's just brain storming... and his idea isn't BC like the 360 does it with AA and upscaling and all that jive he means the game was build with the idea that it would run natively on the next system and enjoy the use of that system's ability without emulation.  Because hardware emulation(like the old PS3s had the PS2 chipset on it) only gives you the game as it is... where as software emulation can do all kinds of nifty things.  As least that's how I see it.
