Microsoft Dropping Backwards Compatibility Updates

Carmen Sandiego: The Secret of the Stolen Drums

Albert Penello of Xbox’s marketing group has stated “I don’t know if we have plans to do any more releases” and “It feels like we kind of hit the point of diminishing returns there. I know with the Xbox Originals, there are still things happening there, but in terms of a lot of engineering work around bringing out new titles, I think they’re winding that down.”

Well, there are more than 465 titles that are now backwards compatible with the system, so you might just have to be happy with that. It would be cool if Microsoft released a version of the Xbox 360 that had full backwards compatibility for a higher price. I’d buy it.
