First of all, to everyone who said it couldn't happen, and wasn't going to happen when I said it was possible, piss on you.

Second, it's a win. Plain and simple.

The ability for people to take both the Xbox Live Arcade, Games On-Demand, and Xbox 360 disc-based games they own and play them on the Xbox One is a win for those who own the games.

It means people can play the games that they already own on a single system, it means they can finish games they may not have finished because they couldn't afford to own both consoles and traded one in for the other, and it's a win because some teenagers became adults during the life of the Xbox One, had kids, and now want to play some of those games with their kids.

I loved the original Xbox compatibility on the Xbox 360. While there are some who never took advantage of that benefit, I did. Not only did I find the new controller better and easier to use than the original Xbox controllers (both the Duke and the S), it worked with almost all of the games I owned. The original Xbox compatibility on the Xbox 360 allowed me to trade-in my original Xbox, plus I was able to go and buy older Xbox games I never had the chance to play.

With the Xbox 360, there are games I bought and still haven't played, there are games I never completed, and there are still some games I'd like to play yet. Games I bought through Games on Demand, and Xbox Live Arcade. It's a win.

Backward compatibility gives gamers options, regardless of what system it's on. It's a win.


MS never sid all of that and you  are just spreading false accusations.This sounds just like what was said about Kinect and its features and we all know how that turned out.Fact is no one knows exactly how it will work now as MS has not explained all the features,but for it to be that good it would take a lot of effort and I just don't see them doing that.All of tis i just hype with no real concrete evidence of how good this feature will be implemented.
