Back in May 16th 2005, Microsoft said in an interview with C|Net News that: Backward-compatibility i

Xbox 360 backwards compatibility with Xbox games isn t going to get many more additions to its list said Microsoft VP Peter Moore. This is rather strange mediterranean cruise line considering first-party Microsoft mediterranean cruise line titles like Conker: mediterranean cruise line Live and Reloaded, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Project Gotham Racing 1 2, MechAssault 1 2, and Midtown Madness 3 aren t even made compatible yet.
Back in May 16th 2005, Microsoft said in an interview with C|Net News that: Backward-compatibility is not the reason people buy a new system, said David Hufford, Microsoft Xbox group product manager. mediterranean cruise line The perception is that it is significant. We ve put all our energy into new titles, mediterranean cruise line but since our consumers have asked for it we ve made it a goal to make all titles backward-compatible .
This goal was repeated by Microsoft on May 19th 2005, in an interview with GamesIndustry saying: At launch, Xbox 360 will be backward mediterranean cruise line compatible with the top Xbox games , said Xbox PR manager Michael Wolf. Our goal is to have every Xbox game work on Xbox 360. You will NOT need to purchase a new version your original games will work on Xbox 360 .
During the November 22nd, 2005, system launch in the US, Microsoft announced the first wave of backwards compatible games would be the top selling Xbox games. Just before mediterranean cruise line Christmas that year support for Ubisoft s Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six was added. Late March 2006, alongside a series of performance tweaks for already enabled games, they added support for BLACK, Star Wars: Battlefront II and World Soccer Winning Eleven 9.
Then out of nowhere on May 31st 2006, in an interview with Kikizo , corporate VP of Microsoft s interactive entertainment business and entertainment and devices division Peter Moore is quoted: Nobody is concerned anymore about backwards compatibility. We under promised and over delivered on that. It s a very complicated thing very complex work. I m just stunned that we have hundreds of games that are backwards compatible, he said. more are coming, but at some point, you just go, there s enough, let s move on , or people aren t as worried about a game being backwards compatible and I like to think we ve upheld our end of the bargain in making at least two or maybe three hundred games backwards compatible.
What about fan favorites Microsoft? Many people have been asking for games like Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Psychonauts, and Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball to get backwards compatibility! Heck, not even any of the way popular mediterranean cruise line Madden games are compatible. It d be nice if they could at least confirm they tried making them compatible mediterranean cruise line and it wasn t possible due to the hardware differences between the two Xbox generations.
You know, instead of saying they did their best, but nobody really wants it anyway. Because that s not true and a lot of people either never owned the Xbox, or sold their original Xbox to get the 360. Still, I wouldn t say 250 out of 400 is bad, but it s not what was promised and a lot of the most wanted mediterranean cruise line backwards compatibility games are top-sellers, let s just hope some of them are on Microsoft s to-do list.
It s not much, but it s better than nothing, the official response from Microsoft just came out: We recognize that backward compatibility is important to gamers, and you can rest assured we re not done yet.
In fact, the team is currently in the testing phase of another update, which we anticipate will be released in the next few weeks. This is likely to be around a dozen titles that will join the list of well over 200 titles mediterranean cruise line that are currently backward compatible today.
No one is concerned?! This is the kind of false-advertising that people hate. It gives us the feeling that Microsoft makes promises it can t keep. If they really think this isnt a big deal, myabe we should think of their boast about the XBOX 360 being the ultimate gaming system as being nothing more than a broken promise. The funny thing is that while Microsoft has made the mistake of not adding backwards compatibility to the xbox 360 design plans, Sony nip their problem in the bud a long time ago with the PS2 which was backwards compatible with ALL their games. So to make a long story short, Microsoft should learn to put their money where their mouths are before they lose their money entirely.
I dont think its right how they keep saying one thing and not keeping their word. So whats the point of having all these old x-box games but I cant play them on my new 360? So I cant even buy a new x-box cause there not being made anymore. Ridiculous!
