Can MS & Sony just simply make next gen fully BC?

There is simply just different agreements in place for all platforms.
So what Sony can do doesn't mean Microsoft can legally do the same and vice versa.

I think at the advent of next-gen Microsoft might make some changes to it's agreements to make the entire process easier... Then again, I thought they would have done the same after they finished up with the Xbox 360's backwards compatibility scheme.

Problem is that it doesn't matter if it's X2 or X360 BC we are talking about the agreement made at the time of the original game =p

Hence why I assumed they would have modified things last gen so that things would be more amenable this gen.
