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.

They wont have backwards compatability, then the 360 would be useless and there would be no profit.

Sphinq It's good to see that MS are at least considering back-wards compatibility now.
Hopefully they can actually go through with backwards compatibility. There are many Xbox 360 games that i would like to play on the Xbox One

DreamsKatsumiPotion I hope they fix this i really want to use my 360 games.
It would be great to be able to play some Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One. Hopefully they can get this fixed in the near future
even if its just a few that would be fine they make it so the previous console is useless
maybe if they just allow the more popular games and not all of them that would be cool. I would rather them have some then none at all

Amp- 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
