What did you guys think of the Reveal?

No one is forcing people to throw out their old consoles

Right but when you have gamers who have spent thousands of dollars over the years and have developed extensive libraries of games, not being able to play them on Xbox One would be a major hit against ms. For those who buy maybe 1-2 games over a couple years, not having backwards compatible isn't going to mean as much.

As it stands now I've got over 150 games (down from over 300) and if none can be played on Xbox one, why keep them? I'll have to start my library all over again and that makes me a sad panda.

XBOX ONE is going to be using a new Architecture for gaming. It might be hard to get that Architecture to accept the older games. However if they can figure it out before launch I am sure they will implement it.

I think that you may be right, I mean how hard would it be to just provide an emulator style compatible feature for the 360 games?

So my 500+ games are completely worthless now? Keep the 360...it's not that difficult. It's the same with PS4, they won't natively play PS3 games either.

You're right man but wouldn't it be nice if ms would allow it? It would easily be a trump card against Sony and their ps whatever lol
