Xbox 360 Plans Move Forward

Posted by Zonk on from the we-released-a-console-remember? dept.

Despite the wait for big-name game releases, the folks at Microsoft haven't been sitting still now that the 360 is (more or less) on store shelves. IGN reports that plans are still moving forward for more backwards compatible titles, despite rumours to the contrary. No dates or titles to expect were released, though. Additionally, a launch in India is just a matter of time, according to a Gamasutra report. They consider the Indian market very important ... they just don't have a date in mind yet. The 360 is slated to launch in Korea on February 24th, and Australia, Taiwan and Singapore on March 2nd.

    What stores have the 360 on the shelves?

    So the games that Microsoft plans to release is still slated for release, the backwards compatibility library they've been working to expand is still being expanded, and countries that they plan to sell the 360 in will still be selling the 360?

    Since when is planning to do exactly what you originally planned today because that's still the plan news?

    "IGN reports that plans are still moving forward for more backwards compatible titles, despite rumours to the contrary."

    Were there rumors that they would support fewer backwards compatible titles in the long run?
