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

AR15 This is a really big mistake for both companies. It'll kill their profit.
Not really, do YOU play any xbox games on your 360 or ps2/ps1 games on your ps3? Chances are you don't because the majority of console player (I said majority) are only playing xbox 360/ps3 games. You will learn to forget about your old games soon

Gentoo People are ridiculous.the thing is that its basically an xbox but with better parts why should they make it so it wont play older xbox games that we bought
If you want to play PS3/Xbox 360 games, play them on the console they're intended for.
This shouldn't be a deciding factor on whether you purchase the next generation console/s. But I can't imagine them not backwards-compatible.

It'd better. Some of the greatest games are for the 360 (Fallout 3, Skyrim, GTA, etc.) but if the new generation of xbox cannot play those, then those games will either be forgotten, people will stay on 360, or people will go to PC, as those games are better on there anyway.

hTDrag Then how will GTA V come into play here?
Will it be 360 only or will they release on 720?
I hate secrets and surprises, just f'n tell us!
This is what im thinking GTA is delayed until September so unless the 720 or X8 is released before then i don't know

It won't kill profit for either of them, it'll boost them because you have to buy new games.
