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."

If they do this, I am moving on to PC gaming. This would be the most stupidest thing I have ever seen, well, if it is true.

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard, no one will put up with this. It's going to destroy the new consoles reputation regardless of what it can do.
