Backwards Compatibility
This also means that it will be mandatory to purchase new, recompiled versions of Xbox 1 titles in order for them to run on an Xbox 360, which is indeed a disappointment. And infact, Sony and Nintendo themselves have already confirmed that their next-generation gaming consoles (PlayStation 3 and The Revolution) will be perfectly backwards compatible with their older PlayStation 2 and GameCube titles. It's unfortunate to be true for both Microsoft fans and Microsoft themself, only time will tell.

This is just one more negative for the Xbox 360. Backwards compatibility should be a given in any game system today. To do otherwise alienates future purchasers of that particular system. I certainly wouldn't want to purchase a game system by a company that doesn't have a history of making their consoles backwards compatible.
