Xbox One backwards compatibility really works – and could be a killer feature

Dealspwn: "Real surprises are often few and far between at E3, but we've had plenty so far this year. One of the biggest came from Microsoft, who stunned audiences during yesterday's Media Briefing by announcing that Xbox One would soon be backwards compatible with Xbox 360 games.

This is a big deal.

Not only have we been told that backwards compatibility is impossible this generation — because it technically is — but it's a massive step forwards for us gamers from a company who are often very slow to move in any direction. It's an astonishing statement, and more astonishing still, it really works."
