If MS is truly bringing about an end to generations, then I think that's a great thing. I see no reason why every game that I purchase shouldn't be playable on every future console (within reason), and that any game released today shouldn't be able to play on hardware purchased a year or two ago. In other words, I think that consoles need to become PCs in terms of scalability.
Nobody makes money on hardware. So, stop making people buy it. Let them spend their money on games, which are profitable. Then they can buy hardware when *they * want to. Hardcore gamers can upgrade every year or two if they want, and always have the best experience. Casuals can upgrade less often, and still play current games. The way I see it, everyone wins in this scenario.
If we're just talking about BC as it stands today, I think its nice. But, I've played exactly one XB360 game on my XB1. So, I don't see it as a big deal.
