My thinking digital is that as much as this is a good idea like Xbox 360 BC, if you don't have a popular game that's on the list, you still have to have your old system to play the game. If its not 100% BC, it's almost a waste.

If you have 25 games and only 16 are BC, you still need the old system to play the other 9. Instead of most popular based on the community, Microsoft should go for all of them. Some we know they can't because the publisher might choose to remake or remaster their game and keep it off the list, but not 100% wouldn't work for me on any system.

The PS4 will read DVD's but it won't read CD's and even though the majority of PS2 games came on DVD some did come on CD. Still, if you have a PS3 it will read and play PS1 disks while only the first generation PS3's will play PS2 games.

Actually, Microsoft and Sony did state prior to the release of their respective consoles that they would not be backward compatible so if you had a library of PS2 games you kept your old PS1 or PS2 or purchased the PHAT PS3. Likewise, if you had an XBox or XBox360 games you kept your original consoles.

Even though Microsoft did bring in backward compatibility two years after the launch of the XB1 on selected games you still needed your original disk to play so those people who did not have a copy of the retro game either had to borrow or purchase it and CD/DVD's are very easily scratched unless you are careful.

I have said this before and will say it again. "Backwards compatibility is a great value added feature but it will only sell consoles at the start of a generation not two years into their generation". As sales go I have not be proven wrong.

It was confirmed by Phil Spencer Original Xbox will support discs on Xbox One just like the Xbox 360 version

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm
