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."

The more information released the less likely it is to sell good. The new gen of consoles sound like absolute crap.

Here's a novel idea for those of you out there complaining...
Why not keep your Xbox 360 that you ALREADY HAVE and play x360 games? Mind-blowing, I know, can't believe I thought of it myself.
Not being backward compatible is a cost saving maneuver. Look at the first gen PS3...$600 for full backward compatibility!!
Be happy that you may be able to purchase this next gen Xbox with the purported specs out there for less than $400!

Im actually looking forward to the next-gen Xbox. Some stuff doesn't make sense but that is just us seeing something new instead of the same 360 for the past 8 years. Can't wait to see how it plays out.

I hope you guys know that these are all rumors. None of the stuff on here is confirmed by microsoft. So there is still a very slim chance that they will make the next-gen xbox backwards compatible

Microsoft are not stupid, they will make the lower class games work like 360 on a 720, they will make it work on that platform.
