Original Xbox or Xbox One?

Actually my first post to you was all fact. So that stuff we have to agree.

I never stated it was fact or fiction. (Nor can you assert it was fact without evidence anyway)
You initiated the first response, you don't get to complain when I don't back down.

Xbox One is seemingly going to become useless when Series X comes out, at least to the people that buy a Series X. It will be years before many upgrade to 9th gen. Xbox One has a strong library on its own. Series X supporting virtually every game doesn't change that.

The Xbox One has been a marginal success this generation anyway, it's entire game library pretty much exists everywhere else to various degrees... That's not a strong library.

With your logic you will get rid of your PS4 as well. Which is good, less hardware taking space. Ideally we wouldn't need OG Xbox or 360 hardware. Its more like we're stuck with them to access certain content. That doesn't make them better consoles though.

I don't own a Playstation 4 currently.
Playstation 5 is on pre-order along with the Xbox Series X.

I am not someone who favors any console manufacturer, keep that in mind, so those digs don't really work on me.

There is still a need for an OG Xbox and XBox 360 as there are games on those devices that cannot be played anywhere else.

Would the masses rather have 100% BC of OG Xbox or Xbox One on Series X? The answer is too obvious because Xbox One has a better library.

Considering how unused backwards compatibility generally is in the grand scheme of things, I think people want newer generational-defining exclusives.
Besides, the good games generally get remastered and re-released for newer hardware anyway.

But considering the Xbox Series X will support the Original Xbox and Xbox 360 backwards compatible titles and will probably expand on the amount of titles supported... Kinda' throws a spanner in the works.

I'm saying our debate has moved beyond the first post. That stuff was the facts.

Exclusives aren't the only thing that determines a strong library. The N64 library could have easily been better if more notable PS1 games were ported to it. I mean look at the most active games on Xbox and Playstation, many aren't exclusives.

I wasn't arguing you favor anything. However, if Series X and PS5 achieve ~100% BC, then both units become useless for people upgrading. That's ideal though, not an argument that suggests OG Xbox and 360 are better. I wish I could get rid of my OG Xbox and 360 without losing access to some games.

I think people want both. They want to go into the new gen with their current library (with visual and performance upgrades). I mean many of us are going into the 9th gen with a backlog. People also want hardware that can raise the bar. Given BC will be there at launch, its gonna be very active. I think people are also glad they won't necessarily need their old hardware.

Xbox One's BC already supports most of the highly requested OG Xbox and 360 titles. I'd love to see more added though.
