That is fantastic news, honestly. Nintendo and Sony are gonna have a rough time outdoing MS now.


Nintendo already has it, however Sony doesn't. I doubt sony will prep anything up in time, so probably a price cut coming.

Nice! My 360 died a while back and I really didn't want to buy another one, problem is now solved!



To be fair when I got my 360 I never once played Xbox games on it. Nor did I play ps2 on ps3 and guess what I don't play wii on wii u. I think people are slight over reacting. Unless the whole off Xbox live market place is available off course.

Seriously, beeing able to play old games wins E3 ? Its nice and all but PS3 was backwards compatible (initialy) and it did squat for the console.


Oh, it's a big deal. There are a lot of people who own a X360 who now have an added incentive to buy an XOne instead of PS4. And with sweet trade in deals, they can now have a new console for under $200.

Too late for me now, I've sold off my entire collection, and the arcade games on my account are not that interesting.

Had this been available from day one, I certainly would have not gone over to PS4, and now the game has become very interesting indeed. Especially in the US/UK markets.



Pretty big. So far the biggest thing they've announced.

Microsoft won E3 for me.

Woah, the ball is in Sony's court now, this is how you do E3 properly!

Fantastic announcement from MS!

Nintendo already has backward compatibility :S



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.
