The Xbox 360 offered the ability to purchase and download old games from the first original Xbox. This is less a function of backwards compatibility, and more a storefront for fans to easily purchase and replay older titles. Digital downloads of older games on Xbox One would be essential for consumers looking for older games which are no longer made into hard copies. Downloads of older games is also essential if certain store retailers eventually stop selling hard copies of those games. Microsoft could also allow players to stream ALL Xbox Original games as an option if they have an Xbox Live Gold Membership. It would also help to justify paying for Xbox Live Gold since so many of the same console games for PC are free to play online. A digital download of the game would run better since its fully installed to the hard drive. If Microsoft offers game streaming of Original Xbox games as an option, they will have to do their homework and fix latency issues that comes with game streaming. Due to the internet requirements to have a smooth gaming experience, they will have to prevent latency which can hurt frame-rate and visual quality of the game. This feature would have helped Microsoft greatly when it launched Xbox One. By making original Xbox games available to download from the digital store, Xbox One's game library will expand greatly!
