XBox360 Backwards compatible after all ?
Posted on Thursday, 28 April 2005 by Speed, source: The Inquirer
The Inquirer is reporting that a questionnaire taken online through XBox Live suggests that Microsoft's next console will be backwards compatible after all... IF you buy the optional hard drive.
The questionnaire deals with Xbox Live and says subscribers through the original Xbox will be able to play against gamers on Xbox 2 -- as long as they are playing a current generation Xbox game.
"Xbox Live is an online gaming service that works across both the current Xbox system and the future Xbox 2. You will be able to play online and compete against others across both consoles. If you are playing an Xbox game on Live you will be able to compete against people playing that same game on Xbox 2".
So XBox games will run on "XBox 2".
The hard drive comes in because the original Xbox had one and the games are written to use one.
