Forums - Microsoft - Rumor: Achievements to rollover to Xbox 720

Rumour? this was like, confirmed a year ago.

Full backwards compat with games and XBLA titles (if they didn't do these, that would probably be the biggest slap in the face imho) along with achivements means day one purchase of the system for me.

The other things that they should work on is console reliability and backwards accessories (I know, keep dreaming but that SF4 TE stick was expensive!).



It's just that simple.

In a way, one good thing about RROD, is that no future Microsoft consoles will have bad reliability problems, if there is one thing Microsoft want the 720 to be, its to be reliable, they won't want to deal with RROD again.

On the topic of achievements, wouldn't it be a good idea to allow the image for each unlocked achievement be used as a gamertag picture?

Imagine the bragging rights of being able to use one of the extremely difficult achievements as your gamer image.

I've also thought of this and have even emailed Microsoft about this, but I never got any word back.

Like someone else mentioned, the Live ID from the original Xbox (and everything that came with it) rolled over from the original Xbox to the 360. Why would that change now?



No I don't want Xbox 720, I want at least Xbox 1080.

I would rather the new Xbox have "Xbox 720" achievements and "Xbox 360 achievements". That way, the people who are just getting their first Xbox console (or who had Xbox but skipped 360) wouldn't be left hopelessly in the dust.

It costs 7 times more to gain a new customer, than to keep an old one. Your old fans first, new ones come second. Yes, achievements will transfer. New customers won't NOT buy a new Xbox because of that, and old customers will see the new Xbox as a must buy.

However much is pisses off the uninitiated, it will happend, and it must happen. :P



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

They should. If they didn't it will of killed sales. Achievements are the best.



Achievements are the reason I play through boring games. No way they will take achievements off.
