If the new Xbox console that is being discussed is the white kinectless SKU that also happens to be backwards compatible with 360 for $400 and you've already purchased an original Xbox One with Kinect and no backwards compatibility how ticked off at Microsoft would you be? 

The second poll choice is supposed to say I would plan to buy it when my 360 eventually wears out.

Wouldn't that kinda be impossible to be $400?

I wouldn't be ticked off, buying a console at launch means you get the base console and you get to enjoy the product. I'd rather play the games I've played now than have to wait a year for $100 savings a different console.

I've not heard of that before. Is this compatibility actually a rumour?

Microsoft has said they're looking at ways to bring backwards compatibility to Xbox One and it is definitely something that is being discussed in the Xbox fan community as being something that Microsoft will show off at this year's E3 in some fashion ( and that it will most likely come in physical form i. e. the ability to place your 360 game in your XO's disc drive to steal much of the thunder of Playstation now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwtjQ_s1UsE&feature=share&t=1h14m52s  video link contains 18+ language ).

No, he made that up, the rumor is that it has no disc drive.

Is this made up? As far as i know microsoft said they were looking into it and never said that a new console would be made. Maybe i am wrong.

If Microsoft release a backward compatible console, this is great new because hopefully PS4 will have to follow since it's biggest problem.

It's impossible for the Jaguar CPU to emulate a processor that is faster in a few respects than it is (per core, some functions).

So it would definitely require a new model, and for practical purposes a compatible CPU as well.

The odds of a full BC xb1/ps4 in hardware or emulation are zero though. It would be prohibitively expensive and a PCB nightmare to boot. Both 7g and 8g are extremely complex, high tdp units of massively differing uarch.

Streaming at best with a tray and play design. Even that is a ton of server resources and prone to issues unless your ISP is godlike.

At the end of the day if you want 7g games, play a 7g console.

there is only one way for the XBO to be physically able to play XB360 games and it's to pretty much put the 360 chipset in the XBO on top of the XBO chipsets.... so I doubt it will come a 400 bucks.... and to be fair I'd much rather have them making it available through cloud gaming for gold user or something....

since I have a 360 and a one I wouldn't care less for a new all in one.... and probably most people too.... anyone who is interested by a 360 bought one already pretty much and the one that are late to the party probably wouldn't buy an XBO just yet... so all in all this like screen resolution on smartphone it is just a dick size competition marketing tool.... if it works like with smartphones great but I have my doubts....

once again making it a kind of service for gold user would probably be way more profitable for MS...

The report in the Australian magazine or catalog about the new xbox console combined with the talk coming out of the xbox fan community ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwtjQ_s1UsE&feature=share&t=1h29m15s 18+ language ) about how much of a blow it would be to Sony's plans for Playstation now if you could pop a 360 game into your Xbox One and be good to go, really makes me think that Microsoft is planning to solve their backwards compatibility issues with a new model Xbox One that plays 360 games. But, I don't think the 5 million people that have already bought xbox one would be too happy about that if that's the way it turned out rather than with an emulator. But Microsoft has an incredibly loyal fanbase that has stuck with them through a lot.
