    Apparently I bought a PC instead of a console, backwards compatibility must be new.


    Wtf Microsoft, 2 players can't play on a console? Why did I get 2 controllers with the thing? Not only can me and my brother not play the same games together but we can't even continue on with some of our favorite games like Mass Effect or play any old Xbox
    360 games; oh wait, there's an easy fix, I just have to buy all of the old games in the new Xbox one discs. Now that's how we innovate, backwards compatibility is obsolete. Come on Microsoft. I know you want my money but let's be reasonable. Hell, me and my
    brother can do more together on my computer then on a console, time to QWOP, GG Microsoft.

    Will DLC's be transferred?

    In general, this lack of backward compatibility with our XBox 360 games and purchases is the main reason I'm never buying an XBox One. Instead, I bought a new XBox 360 S yesterday to keep as a backup.

    Personally I'm willing to give up backwards compatibility if it reduces the price by a decent amount.

    Couch co-op is down to the games developers to put in.

    The Xbox One has been out for 18 months,2 minutes of research would of told you that the xbox one is not backwards compatible.

    There's an even easier fix -- Load up your Xbox 360 and play your 360 games on that console. Or.... did you get rid of your 360??

    As Daft mentioned, prior to spending hundreds of dollars on a new piece of equipment, it is your responsibility to do some research on the product.

    how non backwards compatible might hurt xbox

    No I don't, I would rathe have a new console that uses new technoiogy, instead of one that uses old technoiogy just to keep it backwards compatible.

    I think that the launch release sales will have an impact on how they add games to backward compatible library. Aswell as the popularity of these games.

    Seeing as they stopped making games backward compatible now to focus on Project Scarlet, which will apparently be backward compatible for all Xbox console games from OG Xbox to new gen.

    It might be available on next gen, just speculating on this as there is not alot of official news about the features of Project Scarlet at this time.

    Game

    For what I'm saying is. I thought cars race o rama would be in the Xbox one backwards compatibility since cars mater-national was there. I bought the race o rama on here but it was only transferred to the 360 instead and not on the xbox one backwards compatibility. I don't have the 360 console neither.
