Of course it could be XBox (the first one) compatible right out of the box, as both systems are essentially PCs. Can't see it happening though. They just want to resell us the same games over again...

I think you misread my post as these were my points! What I was trying to emphasize is that the physical CELL processor and related chips are from 2006 and therefore not expensive to make. It would add to the cost (hence my suggestion for the add-on card so if you want this feature you pay for...

The 360 uses DVDs for game storage. The HD-DVD player was just an external add-on. So the "720" could read the discs no problem. If the "720" also goes X64 like the PS4 (that is the rumor) then the "720" will be more like the original X-Box, which was just a Pentium III based system...

Just to continue my rant a bit more... The Wii U could still be GameCube compatible. (The hardware architecture is very similar so I don't think any additional hardware would be required beyond GameCube to USB controller adapters.) However, Nintendo has deliberately disabled this feature as...

I don't know why people are thinking this would be such an expensive thing to implement. 1) PS1 emulation can be done through software. 2) PS2 emulation can be done through software (those PS2 games from the Playstation store play on ALL PS3s. Sony just includes the emulator with the game...

What I don't understand is why Sony isn't catering to the "hardcore" market. I realize they want to keep prices down so I wouldn't expect backwards compatibility to be free. Charge $5 for a PS1 or PS2 software emulator. A lot of people would buy it and they could add some extras instead of just...
