This is a quote from Microsoft at the (GDC) this week!
"At some point we're going to focus less on it. When you get to the end of this year there will be a reduced focus on backwards compatibility. There are so many 360 games out there. I don't know if it's important anymore."
Now I know some people like to play their old games but I really think people shouldn't be complaining about it because adding backwards compatibility is something Microsoft doesn't even have to do but for some reason everyone feels like it is a requirement.
It is time to move on people, let Microsoft spend their time on developing new products and features for XBOX LIVE.
It is time to stop playing in the past and if you want to get really nostalgic, go play Galaga and Pac Man on XBOX LIVE arcade. Those games are being worked on by 3rd party developers who have the time to make them available.
One more thing I would like to add is, when you look at the most played games on the original XBOX on Live, all of those games are playable on the 360 along with 300 others. The games that you can play now are the most popular, they are not going to spend 100's of hours trying to make a game playable for 1 dude in Montana!
