Well since we here at UO like to remain as unbiased as possible I decided to post a rebuttal of sorts to the gamesindustry.biz article stating the next generation Xbox would not be backwards compatible with current Xbox games. TeamXbox received an official statement from Microsoft regarding this issue.

| “Recent stories in the press about future Xbox products are nothing more than pulp fiction. Microsoft hasn’t made any announcements regarding the next generation, so it’s far too early to speculate about specifics, including backward compatibility. In fact, this media conjecture is irresponsible. The credibility of any publication willing to compromise fact in favor of a catchy headline must be questioned. Xbox fans are smart enough to distinguish truth from sensational reporting.” |
Basically no one knows if the next Xbox will be backwards compatible or not, but I believe this issue may have become more important due to all the media exposure. So would backwards compatibility, of the next Xbox, be an important feature for you to consider before buying? |
