[*]Original Xbox Games to be backward compatible


I will wait and see about details. Is it all games, or a particular selection like the 360's BC was? If I can play RalliSport Challenge 2 again, consider me sold.

I wonder if the XBox One hardware is powerful enough to just straight up emulate any original XBox game, rather than going through the "recompile" dance they do with 360 games? If so they should be able to just run any original game without a problem, otherwise we'll have a situation similar to the 360 backwards compatibility where they have to manually re-create the games so they can run on the new hardware.
