The obvious answer is: Not give a fuck because backwards compatibility isnt really a big deal... at all... and its not a game changer in any way or form. its a nice feature to have, and thats it. |
Exactly.
Even last gen, MS gave up on BC for the 360 because nobody cared for it. They promised the same thing: "more and more games will be made to be BC with the 360" and they stopped doing that as interest in the OG Xbox went into obscurity. As another person said, BC is cool for the beginning of the gen when not that many games are out for the new console and the consumer wants to easily transition. Now, 2 years after the console releases and has a decent library of games? Who cares about Viva Pinata, then?
Seriously, the only reason people are playing this up is because it's merely a talking point to say "this a something XBOne has that PS4 doesn't", and they're making it seem like the second coming of Jesus. Yes, it's a nice feature to have. Nothing more, nothing less. Like I've explained to others before, if the 360s library was such a big deal to you that you're excited to play the games on XBOne, that means you still have a 360, which will play all the games, natively. If you don't have a 360, you don't have games (why would you sell your 360 and keep the games, knowing XBOne wasn't BC when you got it? Hope for BC in the future?), and you've moved on to the current gen. If you say "now I can go back and play Game X"....maybe you shouldn't have sold your 360 in the first place if you wanted to play that game so bad.
I swear, logic is being defied in order to make BC bigger than it actually is. It's nice to have. It only adds to your gaming experience, as opposed to being a detriment. But that's about it.
