Xbox One not backwards compatible with 360 discs/XBLA purchases

4.4
The new Xbox One will not be backwards compatible. They have also announced that old purchases from the Xbox 360 will not transfer over because of the new processor they have put in. Microsoft have said that they care about the purchases, and will still be updating new apps and features on the old Xbox 360. Microsoft said that some things will transfer over such as the gamer score that you earned in previous years on the 360.

SwaggIsForKidz Waw no black ops 2, black ops, halo 3 & 4 And reach, xbox minecraft, modern warfare 2 & 3, GTA 4, are not available to play on the xbox one what a waist of a system to make Microsoft and the new xbox systems are going for 299 to 399 in the US I guess it's the end of video games for me


Good, society will advance without you. Its not that much money, if all you want to do is play those games then stick with the current console. Upgraded hardware means upgraded software too, if that's a surprise to you then you should probably just stop existing or take a common sense class. Its not because they want to deprive consumers of the ability to play old games, its because in order to create something new and significantly better it has to be completely redesigned. Its a technical issue, and Im sure over time there will be old titles re-released for the XONE just like our current systems. Quiet Whining and change your name to something that doesn't make me want to give up on society.

ahahaha. Society already did advance. It's called PC. NVidia already said the hardware in the next gen xbox is similar to processors they were developing in March 2012. A Xbox that isn't backwards compatible with XBLA and Last gen games is already a fail in my book.

Equalise So basically its impossible to play old CoDs on the new xbox :/


Why would you even want to? If you want to play the old Cods go on the Xbox 360.
