What is more important for you: exclusive AAA-games or backward compatibility?

I had the og Xbox. I played everything I thought matter of the four years of its existence (not much). The ps3 had ninja gaiden blacks remaster. Micosoft left it behind for a reason and the ps2s library was multiples of the size in games and quality. Microsofts best games of the og Xbox to me were kotor and they are still available on PC with mods.

Yeah, I have the OG Xbox too. There's numerous worthy games on it, and many of the multiplats performed better than the PS2 versions. They also had quite a bit Japanese games for it.

Some Original Xbox games simply aged better than the PS2 versions as some were high-definition, widescreen and had full SM 1/1.1/1.2/1.3/1.4 pixel shader effects.

Backwards Compatability is awesome though. No doubt about it. And there are a ton of people who find it a usefull feature regardless of the platform you use.

Still. Microsoft needed to follow it up with *new* games to go with it. Some big, bold new I.P's that pushed Scorpio.

New games every day of the week..

KEEP YOUR OLD CONSOLES YOU TIGHT ASSES AND BC IS A TRIVIAL FEATURE

Unless of course the backwards compatability feature improves those older games.
Not everyone wishes to have a dozen consoles connected to their TV either for various and obvious practical reasons.
