Streaming Xbox 360 games on Xbox One 'problematic' right now
"It's really cool and really problematic, all at the same time, insofar as it's really super cool if you happen to have the world's most awesome internet connection," Penello told Polygon. "It works way better than you'd expect it to. So managing quality of service, the tolerance people will have for it being crappy. Can you imagine, in this day and age, with the bad information around, and we can't control the quality of that experience and make sure it's good, or have to tell people they can't do it?"
Penello went on to say this specific demonstration was "a grand experiment" but it's all a matter of improving the Xbox Live network before going forward with any kind of feature launch. Penello also didn't rule out the possibility of streaming Xbox One games. "I know we did a lot of work behind it, and we said this is one of the things where the network just has to get better before we can do it. When that happens, you're going to have a really interesting conversation around that, can I actually run Xbox One games that way as well."
While backwards compatibility is clearly on Microsoft's mind now, that wasn't always the case. When the Xbox One was announced back in May, it was originally going to do away with backwards compatibility entirely. Don Mattrick, who was Xbox head honcho at the time, then famously said, "If you're backwards compatible, you're really backwards." Mattrick wasn't at Microsoft much longer after that, taking over as CEO of Zynga just a few weeks later.

Can't wait for things like this to come into play.
If you don't have a good internet connection, then that's just a shame. Move on like everyone else. If you can't, tough.

I must say that I am buying a next gen console to play "Next Gen" games, I am keeping hold of only a handful of 360 games to use with my old console.
I think if this argument continues people will be asking why cant we play Atari 2600 games on my Xbox One / PS4.
Times change, move with it.

I have a 360. If I wanted to play 360 games I'll fire up my 360. Why would anyone pay 400 quid to play old games, it's called next gen for a reason people.

Best thing to do is to wait some time after the launch of next-gen consoles, see what people think about them and then make your decision :)

KatsumiLiaUrf I don't understand Microsoft. They boast such awesome things then they reveal the catch.
They do it so more people will pre-order the console I'm assuming.
That is also what i think, many people are already fixated on buying the Xbox One so they feel it's time to do this i guess
All streaming services require a decent internet connection, streaming a game is of course going to be far more demanding. If you didn't think about that it's your fault.
