Be assured that if Sony had announced this and not MS, exactly this thread wouldn't even exist.

You guys need to stop with this strawman argument.  If Sony had announced this, MS fans wouldn't still be raving about it like it was a HUGE announcement.  I mean if the prospect of being able to run 10% of 360s library is this awesome, then the PS3's 90% must have blown your mind.

And for those who don'tget it, or are willingly not getting it, this has nothing to do with downplaying B/C. It'll be a great feature when/if they can get it working for most games.  This is just a reality check for those who thought this was some huge announcement and may change the XBO's situation.   Do we really need to bust out the chalkboard, again.


Hmm? Yes, because all MS fans are equal, right? And how do you know about the 10% and what about that 90%? And chalkboard? What? This sounds so insecure from your side...

I don't even know why you felt the need to make a thread. If there were dozens of hype threads for BC I would understand but in this case? In my opinion you are exaggerating way too much and this is also enriched with your competitive way of thinking, which screams console wars, competitional thinking, chalkboards... But yeah, let's destroy the hope for every MS fan out there. May they learn for now and ever, they messed with the wrong company. Xbox One is doomed, Sony will win. We should make a daily thread about it and use it in every thread imaginable.

*smh* "reality check"

So, willfully not getting it, then?

Were you not around a whole 2 days ago? As soon as it was announced, people were saying "MS won E3", "this is the biggest announcement that can happen", "nothing can top this", etc.

Apparently, BC is quite a big deal around here. But in reality, it's not. Hence the "reality check". Otherwise, as he mentioned, original PS3s ability to play 90% of the PS2s library should have been a "big deal" at the time, but no one cared. WiiU BC should have been a big deal, but no one cared. So, logically speaking, being able to play only 10% of the 360s library should definitely not be a big deal. But people are making it out to be.

Like the OP said, it's great that extra features are being added. Nobody is downplaying that. But this isn't "huge". There's no "competitional thinking" here. It's just bringing things back down to earth. You know what would be huge? GTAVI exclusivity on some platform. A Half-Life 3 announcement. Spyro coming back, developed by Insomniac, and being Xbox exclusive. But playing old games? How is somebody "insecure" by saying that this isn't some groundbreaking thing that "won E3", especially in the wake of FFVII remake and Shenmue 3, amongst other things.
