Next gen Gameboy in 2005?

You think that xbox2 will be backwards compatible with xbox 1? I would get one if that was the case.

They say they're trying to but haven't accomplished it yet. But atleast it's not that they don't want to.

and if they dont... who cares? i want it for xbox 2 games not xbox 1.

Meh, I think a lot of other consumers have the exact same view. Backwards compatibility is only an addition, its not detrimental to the XBOX2 functionality. If I was given a choice between XBOX2+XBOX compatibility and just XBOX2, I'd go with the the first one.

Having XboX 1 capatiblity gives more percieved and overall value of the system. People who weren't really inclined to the XboX but liked some of their games (like me) could see Xbox2 as a gateway into the system, and be able to try the original games.
