Correct me if I am wrong, but I got the impression that XBLA games that were released on the 360 won't work on the X1 either (I've read the hardware has a different architecture, so this makes sense). Doesn't this defeat the whole point of "360 owners will upgrade, because they've invested so much time and money into their Xbox Live account"?

A new console generation works like a reset, so every company has to start from 0 again. This is the by far the best time for gamers to jump ship and it seems like Microsoft doesn't even mind if that happens. If the 360 needs to be kept anyway to have access to the digital library of games, then it's not important which brand the new console is from.

didnt nintendo do something similar?

and jump to...?

Wii U is almost 100% backwards compatible. For some reason the first Lost Winds game is an exception.

Jump to any console they wish, because they have to start from scratch on all of them.

my achievements will be transferred into trophies?  does nintendo even have an achievement system yet?  I'm not sure.

my friends will all follow me?

I can use my favoured controller on there?

Halo, forza went multiplat?

 

edirt... didnt you have to re-buy games for the 3ds? or was that fixed?

The 3DS has been fully backwards compatible from day one.  As far as I know, there are no games that don't work on it. 

this is about XBLA, didnt virtual console games have to be re-purchased?


All your DSi games work just fine.  It's like... a 5 minute transfer.
