Forget Hololens as a gaming consumer device. Gamers are way to price consicious and Hololens will be very expensive. MS is not really targeting gamers with Hololens but instead targeting the entertainment and business industries where it makes more sense.

As for BC, its a nice feature if you are someone who likes to continue to playing your old library of games. Its not a game changer but it does make the X1 a nicer console to own because it has this capability with any extra price. The library will continue to grow and you have the option to tell MS the games you want to see the most so they do not waste time with stuff nobody cares about. Also all of MS games will be BC so that should be something. The other thing that I like is that BC is not restricted to just retail games but also Arcade. I still play a lot of my Arcade games and it would be great to just see them pop up for me to downloand and play on my X1.
