NONE of it is bc,PS Now OR Xbox “bc”. Neither is bc because you’re just playing a digital version of the game. If it were really bc then the console would read and play off the disc. PS Now is streaming a digital game and Xbox “bc” is downloading a digital game to the system. No,Xbox One can’t do bc,it’s all a Microsoft lie. All you’re doing is using the Xbox disc to unlock a digital version of the game and playing the digital version off your harddrive,it is not backward compatibility.

Yep. Just like their mediocre games they gloat about, when it comes to the crunch something else they’re smug about goes ignored. Xbox executives can spin and damage control it all they want.

I loved the response they gave:

“Roughly 50% of xbox one owners have played, over 508 million hrs of gaming enjoyed”.

So read between the lines – 50% of XB1 owners have used BC at least once (not 50% of XB1 users currently use BC).

508 million hours. So in perspective over 18 months that’s 32 hours in total each (when divided evenly into 15 million XB1 BC users). Important to note here COD is #1 BC game.

In reply to Ocelot forgot his meds. You poor deluted Xbox fanboy still trying to hold bc over PlayStation owner's heads because we don't have it. When will you learn we don't and never had cared enough about it to begin with. We didn't want it on PS3 so Sony took it out of the PS3 Slim,we didn't want it when Sony asked us what we wanted in the PS4 and we still don't want it just because Xbox has it.

So this “survey” shows that Sony’s $800 million dollar investment in PSnow is a complete waste.

Funny how Sony supports paid back compat with PSnow but not free back compat like on Xbox. Dumbest generation of gamers and media there has ever been.

The sample size in this is ridiculous and inaccurate. Less than 1M active users compared to the 50-70M XBL users, and 30M+ XB1’s sold? Give me a break…

The biggest issue to backwards compatibility are the titles. I’m not going to buy a 360 game to play on my Xbox One. I want to play the 360 games I already own. They may not be super popular and most of them have not been made available for compatibility, so I have to take this with a grain of salt.

If the entire library of 360 games were available for compatibility, I believe the usage numbers would go up. Let’s face it, the first or second time you pop in a 360 title and it doesn’t work, you’re pretty much going to give up trying (I’m speaking about the average player & not someone who’s reading the compatibility lists).
