Adding new achievements just like that isn't exactly player-friendly. Well, I mean it can be but most likely it will be used to "force" players back to the game long after release when the achievement could really have been in the game in the first place. It's a good idea but I see more harm than benefit there.

Who is forced to what exactly?  I never cared about achievements and won't do next-gen. I don't see who forces me to anything with NextBox?

See the quotes. Many people care about achievements and I'm sure this rumored feature will be used as a cheap way to bring players back to old games.
