EA exec: It is unlikely the next Xbox will play Xbox 360 games

4
An executive for Electronic Arts has recently claimed that we should not expect Xbox 360 games to run on the next-gen Xbox, nor should owners of the next Playstation expect to play PS3 games on the PS4.

Sources report that EA chief financial officer, Blake Jorgensen, said "An important thing to remember is that next-gen consoles will most likely not be backwards compatible… And if you play multiplayer on a game, you'll most likely not be able to play with someone on a different generation."

That's a plus one for PC gamers. I think this is the thing that will finally push me 100% away from console gaming. The only BC system I own is a Wii and I still played Gamecube games on my Gamecube. I guess it won't be an issue for me, but in this day and age, I'd rather play on whatever's new. I just really think this is a bad idea, as do most people.

Simple solution, buy a PC. Consoles suck.
