I don't think the Xbox One is particularly a bad console, I just think that how Microsoft first presented it is what made people go "ew".

I would buy the Xbox One, if it were $50 dollars cheaper than the PS4 and didn't come with Kinect 2.0. I'm just bummed out that Xbox One is the only console this 8th gen to not present ANY form of backwards compatibility. If anything, their On Demand games should be playable on Xbox One.

According to Albert Penello (Xbox marketing employee), they are considering the possibility of streaming previous gen Xbox games via cloud. I think it's getting too costly for hardware based emulation nowadays.

If you're gonna make a new game console these days, it's got to at least have some backwards compatibility, which the Xbox One doesn't have.

Keep your old console if you want your backwards compatability.

no, just no.

It isn't that simple. For backwards compatibility, they have to either ;

1. Design the system with additional hardware that emulates the previous system, which drives up costs, and can make the console bulkier.

2. Set up software emulation, which is a hit or miss, like it was on the Xbox 360, when playing original Xbox games. Some games ran very well, while others, not so much.

Now, it would be very awesome if the Xbox One had full backwards compatibility with the entire Xbox library, but it's prohibitively expensive.
