Did MS screw up?
http://www.nintendojo.com/infocus/view_item.php?1149219309
If there is one thing MS did really wrong with the 360 is not make it fully backwards compatible. 207 out of I don't know how many games are out for the XBox, that's probably at best a fourth of the complete set. I don't think this is going to be a huge backfire for MS but I could see people who don't follow the news closely being royally pissed off when some of their games don't work for their $400 system in which they sold their XBox to help pay for it. And for those who don't want both of those rather hulking systems set up might not like it also.
And the way Moore talks he seems incredibly arrogant over this. I know their are compatibility problems between the XBox and 360 but if Nintendo can do it and Sony can also do it, why can't Microsoft?
