  1. Best Be Backward Compatible... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Or I won't be buying one for a long, long time.

    I mean, it's only now, years after initial launch, that we're starting to see some really good games for the console coming out. It takes a long time for developers to find the best way to optimize on a platform, and just when they hit their collective strides... Poof! New hardware again...

    M$, if you are listening, take a lesson from the success of the PSII -- make sure XBox 2 is backward compatible. If not, BIG MISTAKE!
