I sold my 360 with about 50 Xbox and 360 games going into this generation. I just wish that I would have known about BC beforehand. Doh!
Backwards compatibility is one of those things that some people don't even care about, and others, like me, find it absolutely empowering, as a consumer! Wanting to keep your games to play from previous generations is not hardcore at all, IMO. Collecting consoles is, though... I just want my games to work, and I'm not into Collecting old hardware. I live in a condo, for one thing. The fact that the Xbox team is making the games that are backward compatible immortal via upgrades is very unexpected from them. I'd say that they have nothing to gain, but they can still sell these games, and also offer them on GamePass. Seems like a win/win to me. The enhancements are really just kinda something we didn't think was even possible, going into the current generation. There are plenty of games I will just keep playing, and they will look better...again.
