I guess that lays the eternal debate to rest. Wii U is a 7th gen console.

"I think it'll be tremendous. It's another differentiator for us," he said. "We're going to be the only next-gen console delivering backwards compatibility."

Did we forget the Wii U, or does that not count? x )

But anyways, awesome! More BC for XB1 is better. : D

I'm just excited to see the list. Don't care about the politics.

No it's 8th gen. But according to Greenberg, the X1 is next gen so that makes it a 9th gen console.

I feel like MS has been marketing heavily on backwards compatibility to compensate for their lack of XB1 games compared to how much support and games the PS4 is getting.

It's always a nice feature to have but I think Aaron forgets that people buy new systems to play new games.

And what a douche for ignoring Wii U.

Wii U is 7.5 gen. Like 32X was a half gen for Sega.

Bring on the BC bitches... My body is ready 😎

Well games with gold like Dirt 3 this month are included, also burnout and Mirror's edge are confirmed. On Neogaf you see enough comments of people buying X360 games on Xbox.com so that they can play them on their Xbox one. If you not going to remaster your game why not put it on the bc list and hope people buy it from xbox.com?

I still regularly play on my PS3. But they might have a problem only having part BC. It's no trouble for me to just keep my PS3 to play all my PS3 games, the question is will people see it as selling point if they still have to keep their 360 to play all their games.

My homeboy at work sold his 360 (and a couple of games I loaned him. That jerk!) When he got his Xbox One. He bought Halo 5 and is pretty disappointed about the lack of split screen. He said he'll grab Halo 4 when BC comes out so he can play with his kids. Why not just get Master Chief Collection? Who knows? Either way, I now he's going to use it. So will I.

As for Greenberg, he needs to let the Xbox speak for itself. Attacking another console (or consoles) never ends well. You're not going to endear yourself with other gamers by bashing what they love. If BC is a big deal, it'll sell itself. If not, he can't convince people by saying it over and over.

"We're going to be the only next-gen console delivering backwards compatibility."

Oooooooh, the shade. Lol.
