  2. We're stuck in a loop. Res, Backwards compatibility, price, Kinect, Res, Backwards compatibility, price, Kinect. I'd like to hear about something else, even if it is a complaint.

    @Mgzin I remember when backwards compatibility didn't exist in consoles. I remember when Ipods and other MP3 players didn't exist as well. Imagine if those came out and you had to buy a lot of songs you own all over again as that seems to be what's happening
    at the moment. Gamers cry about getting milked but gave them a free pass to do so with these "HD rereleases" on "HD games".

    @Mad Cow Technology is advancing at such a rate that we couldn't even dream to stay ahead of the curve so I don't see how any of that is relevant to the subject. Heck, neither system is top shelf so what are they advancing? Services offered?

    @Burnin The blatant over exaggerations are still slightly amusing. Thanks for the chuckle.

    @Burst...that's what I was implying. The first car stereo I saw wan an 8 track. My sony walkman was a cassette. 78 rpm records were still around and we used to go buy 45's every week to get the new hit songs.

    I can see the glazed over eyes of peeps on here asking themselves what are these things he's talking about. lol

    Why would I want to play old games on a new console? I bought a X1 for X1 games...... not to play 360 games... I remember trying to play Xbox games on the 360..... epic fail... move on... next gen is just that, next gen.

    It would be handy, I have Xbox 360 games I still play, but I wouldn't mind being able to keep those to play on the Xbox One and trade my Xbox 360 and the games I don't keep for more Xbox One games and Xbox One controllers,

    -

    Also, I have game collections, like all the Halo and Gears and Ninja Gaiden games, I wouldn't need to keep and old console about if emulation or BC existed.

  7. I still have some OG Xbox games, so IMO it should be an Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. Also it should support the Duke controller and the OG Xbox mic, and also it should be inverse compatible. It should play PS games as well all the way from the PS1.

    It's a new technology. Why should it spend the development team's time to do something a device already does that they sell?

    Backwards compatibility is called backwards for a reason. Unless they have Mc Gyther in the technicians department it wouldn't be an easy task to get the Xbox One playing Xbox 360 titles. The only viable way would be to rewrite the games coding and redesign
    the games to work with the console.

  12. mgzin66 is right, many consoles back in the day were not backwards compatible. Usually backwards compatibility with games consoles is the exception, not the rule.

    Here is a list of famous former non BC and BC consoles:

    Atari 5200 not backwards compatible with its predecessor the famous Atari 2600

    Atari 7800 not BC with the Atari 5200, however, it was BC with the 2600

    Nintendo's SNES not BC with the NES - Although it could play GameBoy titles using a special cartridge.

    Atari Jaguar not BC with any of Atari's former consoles.

    Sega's second console the 'Master System' is BC with Sega's first games console the 'SG 1000'. The reason for this is quite simple, the Master System is architecturally similar to the SG 1000, it even contained the same CPU,
    the Z80.

    The Sega Genesis or 'Mega Drive' as it was known as in Europe and Japan
    was BC with the Master System, but not out of the box. To enable BC the user had to buy a special pass through cartridge. Backwards compatibility was achieved because the Mega Drive also contained the Master Systems
    main CPU the Z80, which the MD used as audio co-processor.

    The Sega Saturn not BC with any of Sega's former consoles.

    The Sega Dreamcast not BC with the Sega Saturn

    The Nintendo N64 not BC with the SNES

    The Nintendo GameCube not BC with the N64

    The Nintendo Wii is BC with the GameCube - Achieved because the Wii is architecturally similar to the GC and containes the GC's graphics instruction set.

    The PlayStation 2 is BC with the PS1, but only because along with it's own unique hardware, it also containes the PS1's main processor and graphics chip.

    The first PS3 consoles were BC with the PS2. However later models were not as the original PS2 hardware was removed from these machines. PS3's can play most PS1 games, this is achieved by software
    emulation.

    The Wii U is BC with the Wii - Achieved via hardware as the Wii U uses the same architecture, but is not BC with the GameCube.

  14. Hello Everyone Reverse compatible xbox one :)

    Please don't be mad / angry at me, but TVs have more than one HDMI port. Instead of MS taking the time to create backwards compatiblity (which I'm not going to lie, is going to be nice & convenient indeed), why not just connect your Xbox One into you HDMI
    Port #2 and leave your Xbox 360 in HDMI Port #1 (or whatever set-up you're using)?

    Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone Reverse compatible xbox one :)

    I think MS started this with the thinking.... the is no difference on this issue between us and Sony, so neither of us can get hurt by it and neither of us can benefit by this.

    BUT, with the xbox having such a tough year, MS has had to rethink this. If they could go B/C....it would be a HUGE win over Sony and would stop almost all 360 owners from jumping ship.

    I've never thought too much about B/C but there are tons of peel who do think its important. It would be a big PR win over sony
