Microsoft Clarifies Backward Compatibility Stance
kukyfrope writes "Peter Moore, Head of Interactive Entertainment at Microsoft, has clarified previous comments about gamers not being concerned with backward compatibility on the Xbox 360, claiming his words were 'misconstrued' and reiterating Microsoft's goal to make every Xbox game backward compatible. 'It's quite simply not that we don't care about backward compat[ibility]. Boy, do we care about backward compat[ibility]... We're going to get darn close to that stated goal of every title done,' Moore promised."
All my old Xbox games should be playable on the Xbox 360 by 2015..... maybe
I mean, the most important game on the list has backwards compatibility already.

...we is gonna hve that backwards compat for you, if it's the last thing I do. Boy, we'll get'r done! Now just let me fire up this batch o' rotgut, and I'll get you your backwards compat.
I have freaks! I did something right...
>Boy, do we care about backward compat[ibility]...
And, we will tell you how much you should care about it too. We know exactly how much is perfect. You will be happy with that amount of compatability.
Some mornings it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints to get out of bed.
> Reasons to turn on your 360?
I always thought the reasons were...
No girl
No friends*
No life
* except maybe a few other game addicts (many of which you probably have never met IRL)
Although in such a case, reasons and consequences usually are hard to distinguish.
So mod me Flamebait... That does not keep you from knowing it is all too often true!
I liked my next sig a lot better
Yeah, but I bet they'll never fix the compatibility for Chocalate Star Wars.
That's OK, I can never find a retailer that carries it.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
But barbie horse adventures and kabuki warriors are backwards compatible! It's true!
