I think the limited backwards compatibility is because of licensing and /or royalties to Nvidia. They would have to emulate the Nvidia graphics code on the Xbox 360. since the Xbox 360 now uses ATI, Nvidia aren't going to let them do that for free. The other option is to completely recode the game

Sony wouldn't guarantee 100% backwards compatibility either, but I think something like 99% of the PSX library is runnable on the PS2. It was a selling point, and most people had enough of a PSX library that they could play pretty much whatever they want. If MS sells the Xbox 360 as being back

Ballmer's been saying that they can't commit to 100% backwards compatibility because they can't guarantee 100% backwards compatibility. But they are going to start with the big sellers and the technologically advanced games and hope that those efforts will trickle down to the majority, if not al

The PS/2 downward compatibility earned Sony a lot of PR points IMHO. Would most people at this point play a PS/1 game on a PS/2? Probably not but when PS/2 came out it was a big plus. If I ever get a copy of the original Silent Hill then I'd be happy about the PS/1 capability :) Howie --- O
