oh i see, well that will be awesome for the nintendo, since they are faling a bit behind in the next generation run.

Endgadget is reporting that feature as well. I think that you will be able to download emulations of older games from some sort of online service.

Holy shit! They are offering backwards compatibility for all Nintendo consoles dating back 20 years! It’s going to be an emulation/next-gen console. Rock!

“they are copying the Original Playstations Backwards compatible thing”
Yeah, Sony invented backwards compatibility. That’s why when I buy a new computer, cd player, or any kind of electronics, I buy sony so I can play older CDs and programs. If any other brand can do that, they’re just copying Sony.

Back to the point, the image is obviously a rendering: Not enough resolution for me to tell if it’s just been heavily photoshopped or drawn from scratch, but I don’t buy it.

Blits – the photo was in USAToday this morning. Or at least on their site.

I think consoles nowadays MUST be backwards compatibile. I wouldn’t say they’re copying (on that aspect), it’s just the smart thing to do! However, the horizontal/vertical issue, I think they’ve copied the PS2 on that one.

Well, i dont really mind the design, or the look, and i like the idea of it using only wireless controllers, but they better be cheap(the controllers)! but what i dont like(both Xbox and Revolution) is that they are copying the Original Playstations Backwards compatible thing and using it to their extent. but thats all im complaining about…

Well, from that picture, IMO, I think that looks the nicest, followed by the PS3 then the 360.

Crap. I wanted the virtual reality unit!

I’m having a very hard time deciding which system I’m going to stick with this time around. Guess I’ll have to do what I always do: buy them all!

mostly? Oh gosh how pathetic. Only “top selling games?” How big is that list exactly?

Microsoft announced that the XBox 360 will be mostly backwards compatible.
