\nPeter Moore on the Xbox\/Xbox 360 backwards compatibility:<\/p>\n

"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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

"Under promised"<\/i> and "over delivered"<\/i>? I don't even own an Xbox or a 360 and this bold arrogance infuriates me to no end. Hey, what's this? Why, it's the Xbox 360 backwards compatibility FAQ page<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Our goal remains to get every game to be backward compatible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hmmm. Interesting…<\/p>\n

Here are some choice quotes from the Evil Avatar thread<\/a> on this topic.<\/p>\n

bapenguin: <\/b>Wow…the only thing backwards there was his statement. Undelivered and over promised you ass.<\/p>\n

swiftdraw: <\/b>Does he mean no one at Microsoft is concerned, or does he actually think that consumers aren't concerned? And really, which is worse?<\/p>\n

Borys: <\/b>Big corporations lie to consumers? Surprise, surprise!!! Sony is no better than Microsoft and vice versa.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Agreed. Funny how a lot of people keep trying to pin Evil Avatar<\/a> as some sort of Microsoft\/Xbox fanboy site. There sure is a lot of hate and not a whole lot of support in that thread for Microsoft's about-face on this very important topic. I think examples such as these demonstrate that EvAv<\/a> is less Microsoft fanboy<\/i> and more anti-stupidity<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
