CCC says: "Both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 have been revealed and, sadly, it looks like neither of them are going to be backwards compatible. Yes, this includes every digitally distributed title and every piece of DLC that you have. Sony has announced that you may, eventually, be able to play previous PlayStation titles via their new Gaikai streaming service, while Microsoft is still keeping tightlipped about how the Xbox One will handle previous Xbox titles. However, it looks like both consoles won’t come packaged with backwards compatibility right out the gate."

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.

I think it totally ok for the systems not to be BC. I mean I'd be nice but when I buy a next-gen machine I'm ready for some next-gen games.
Me too, I don't mind holding onto my old systems
Bullshit....consoles should be backwards compatible. Stop damage controlling the situation. This system doesn't play used games, is always online, doesn't play Xbox 360 games, and is a glorified TV box that charges you $50 a year to play online games.
F*ck Microsoft, you suck balls
Its okay with me too, seeing as how I'm very much leaning towards skipping next generation entirely so far.
Its not that big a deal but there are some who wouldn't upgrade so quickly if they don't have access to their older games. Playing 360 games wouldn't only mean you can play your entire collection but it also means any 360 games Xbox One won't get next year are playable. Since it can't play them XBOne won't have access to some games that won't get on the console next year.
