« on: June 03, 2006, 06:33:07 pm »
peter moore has openly admitted to lying to us 360 consumers, he has declared that back comp is no longer an issue.  everytime i buy something m$ i feel like they are punking me. you would think that they would at least pretend to give a shit about their consumers.

Microsoft isn't all bad. They've done a lot for the Seattle region, and many of Microsoft's top people have made generous and meaningful donations to the University and elsewhere in the community. As for Microsoft's products, well, I guess it depends on who you ask. They're no Joshfox Mega Zillion Corp.

i dont mean to belittle their donations, but consider the source.  they are able to donate money because of ruthless business practices.  also donations are tax write offs.

You're right, products that people buy are ruthless business practices. How dare they be so greedy and make donations with that money.

i dont exactly understand what you mean.  i said the donations are done not because they care, because of image.  appreciate the arcasm though.  also microsoft obviously isnt ruthless because if they were they wouldnt have to pay somewhere close to 600 million in fines due being monopolistic.

What does Peter Moore have to do with any MS product other than the Xbox? And anyway, Peter Moore is the markerter; he doesn't actually make the products, and his job is to make MS win, not become a passive -ass company. He is better than Ken PS3 IS TOO CHEAP! Kutaragi.

By the way, can you quote (and tell us properly) what the hell you are talking about?

when the 360 was being released it was said that close to 100% of the xbox 1 games were going backward compatible on the 360.  now peter moore has decided to change his mind.  ign had a decent article on it.   http://xbox.ign.com/articles/710/710983p1.html

also here is the a few of the initial promises before anyone says they didnt promise it.
"Backward-compatibility is not the reason people buy a new system," said David Hufford, Microsoft Xbox group product manager. "The perception is that it is significant. We've put all our energy into new titles, but since our consumers have asked for it...we've made it a goal to make all titles backward-compatible." -- C|Net News -- May 16, 2005


"At launch, Xbox 360 will be backward compatible with the top Xbox games," Xbox PR manager Michael Wolf told GamesIndustry.biz today. "Our goal is to have every Xbox game work on Xbox 360. You will NOT need to purchase a new 'version' - your original games will work on Xbox 360." -- GamesIndustry.biz -- May 19, 2005

Yes, and that is true. The top games were available at launch. They are working on making it 100% backwards compatible. Duh.

nobody is concerned anymore about backwards compatibility. We under promised and over delivered on that. It's a very complicated thing... very complex work. I'm just stunned that we have hundreds of games that are backwards compatible.
He added: "more are coming, but at some point, you just go, there's enough, let's move on, or people aren't as worried about a game being backwards compatible - and I like to think we've upheld our end of the bargain in making at least two or maybe three hundred games backwards compat." thanks peter moore.....duh
 and only a few top games were available, why just take a look at the list and compare how many are listed to how many arent

Nope, looks like almost all top games are there. Which ones aren't?
And first you say that backwards compatibility is an issue, then you say it isn't.
Oh, and this is pretty interesting too:
