Xbox chief Peter Moore says "nobody is concerned anymore about backward compatibility."
My opinion would have to be, this is Mircosoft of course, a company that always makes sure that nothing is compatible with newer software/hardware.
If it wasn't a big concern...then why did PS2 do so well? why is Wii pretty nice about GameCube games? How come the PSP will have the ability to download PS1 games soon? DS playing GBA games? I dont think it's a coincident, it's what people like these days, recycling classic games is always a sure-fire winner I'd say. Yet there's a part of me that wants to see the lastest and greatest on the market. Yet can't we have our cake and eat it too?
