Microsoft needs to realise that backwards compatability is more than just necessary, it's practically vital! That was one of Nintendo's mistakes with the gamecube although agreeably a multi-format system would cost a huge amount. Microsoft need to ensure backwards compatability is high on their list of things to include in the XBox's successor as it was an incredibly appealing feature of the PS2 over the original PlayStation.
It comes as no suprise it will be high spec though - We're talking about Microsoft here after all. |

In essence it sounds like Microsoft is basically gonna let SONY design XBox 2!!! Whatever PS3 will have, XBox 2 will have... I've said this before and I'll say it again now. M$ seem totally obssessed with defeating SONY. Why can't they be happy simply sharing the market with SONY? Surely having the second-placed console is not so bad? They've sold well. Why don't M$ concentrate on XBox and making a great console rather than concentrating on what SONY can off. It doesn't sound like M$ want to give the consumers that best possible console, it sounds more like M$ are only concerned with making a console that is technically superior to PS3... They still don't get it... -

Which it probably wouldn't be anyway, seeing as how they're talking about bringing their console out first. The real issue at hand here, IMO, is that Microsoft still doesn't seem to grasp the concept that it's the games that sell systems-not the technical specs. In the end, people don't really care how powerful a console is-they care what they can play on it. |

Well you cant blame Microsoft for being interested in what Sony going to have under the hood. It always helps to know what your competitors are up to..especially in the console gaming market. And why cant M$ accept second place ?. Because they are microsoft !. Money doesent please them anymore they fill thier pillows and fire places with it. All that is left is for them them to have bragging rights over thier competitiors. And you cant have that when your a clear number 2.
Besides its especially important for them to know what sonys got cooking if they are going to release thier next gen console first. They dont want Sony putting together a system that is superior to thier own now do they ?. So they figure it out now so they know what they need to do to prevent it. And lets not forget that is still specualation...we dont know if its 100% true or not.
