New XBox One SKU without Kinect

With MS I think 360 killed any thoughts of backwards compatibility on XBO. They stopped providing support for it on 360 because hardly anyone from the userbase used it, would have left them feeling like it would be a waste of resources. Especially when it's only about 5% of previous gen games a niche audience wants to keep playing and those titles can be cheaply polished up and pit back on shelves at full price as remasters.

Backwards compatibility is a very relevant concern for both new consoles sony have plans but its all a bit to littel to late, Microsoft have just ignored it and its a shame they have, like David said maybe it would have got more people to upgrade if they had got this working on the one from the off.

And lets be honest, Sony are only doing it to get extra coin from you.

It would seem that way, its not going to be like i can play the games i own it looks like i will have to rent them via there Gaikai/Kaki stream thing.

Microsoft could still redeem themselves by doing what they should have done at the start - offering a premium model which also has the 360 chipset in it. BC is one of the most important aspects for me, especially now that we all have large digital libraries, and is the no. 1 reason why I won't be buying either console in the near future.
