6.) XBOX ONE Now Supports Backwards Compatibility for 360 Games!!!


       What is going on my fellow gamers?! Microsoft has listened to us! In my 3rd blog post, I was begging for backwards compatibility and I gave reasons as to why it was such an important feature. After watching Microsoft announce at E3 2015, that Xbox One will be backwards compatible with Xbox 360 games, I nearly screamed for joy. I wonder if Team Xbox at Microsoft read my blog haha. I won't steal all the credit. Backwards compatibility is a feature that Xbox gamers from all around the world have been begging for. In my 3rd blog post, I provided options for backwards compatibility to function on the Xbox One. Emulation was one of the options and now Microsoft has implemented it to the Xbox One. Xbox 360 discs also can be played on the Xbox One now after an installation. I am glad that gamers will not be charged money to play games they already own. After all, "It's Hard Out Here for a Gamer!" Just to be clear, I am not a fan-boy of either console, but you can't deny that this was a great move by Microsoft. Streaming games should be optional in my own opinion. Check out the video above by Larry Hub aka: Major Nelson and Bill Stillwell.
