Uh... What?
Are you suggesting that there was no architecture change between the original Xbox and Xbox 360? Or there was no change between the Original Xbox and Xbox 360 to the Xbox One? Because you would be extremely incorrect.
| Lawlight said: I don’t think It has anything to do with MS’s success (wasn’t it found that BC was barely used by XboxOne owners?). |
Doesn't matter. Microsoft and Sony are competitors. Microsoft is using backwards compatibility to leverage themselves above Sony's offerings... And to an extent that has worked for Microsoft.
It also means that Microsoft is still able to sell old stuff, which collectors love.
I mean, so many Steam users have hundreds of games with like 37% of their library unplayed, Valve still makes a ton of money.

There is no difference.
Seems you are picking and choosing minor aspects when on the whole they are the same to assert your position.
Microsoft had to bring in the upclocks so that they could implement HDR, games running better was just a side effect.
