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.

MKP Everything can't be perfect so people seriously need to stop complaining.
People would do whatever it takes to make it seems like the PS4 is the better console.
Whenever something bad comes up, they run with it.

VANAGON They wont have backwards compatability, then the 360 would be useless and there would be no profit.
That doesn't make sense at all.
The Xbox 360 will still work on Xbox Live amongst the people that haven't upgraded until 2016.
There is tons of profit.

Touchable Hopefully this will be available in the near future!
I'm sure they will just work out the bugs and kinks in no time.

To be expected.

I'm 100% sure it's not that easy with the way they set everything up.
you would still think it wouldnt be that complicated for them to make it backwards compatible

They seem to be considering it based on the article. I'm hoping that they will be able to do it with a few games
Useless for them, not for us.

Amp-tinypicAmp- I would love to have 360 games on the Xbox One. Hopefully they figure this out.
It would be nice, I remember that some of the first 360's didn't support xbox original disks
I remember that time, too. Hopefully they can at least put some older titles for download.
Yes that would be awesome to play some old games on the xbox one.
