Xbox Backward Compatibility.

E3 just ended a few hours back and as most E3's go, E3 2015 was amazing too! Numerous games were announced anywhere from Indie games to AAA titles. Star Wars: Battlefront, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy VII: Remake, etc. were some of the biggest anticipations and surprises of E3 2015. However, the games weren't the only wow factors this E3.

The Xbox conference was the first conference of the second day of E3 and the Playstation conference was the last. Xbox fans roared as they announced that the Xbox One will be backwards compatible later this year. This basically means that the Xbox One will run your previous Xbox 360 games for free! The process is simple, you stick your Xbox 360 disc into your Xbox one console and download the game from the market free of cost. Microsoft says this is possbibe for every Xbox 360 game that exists but it's in the hands of the game developers to make their games backward compatible. Don't be disheartened though, most game developers will rise to the occasion and Xbox One has already got a hundred Xbox 360 titles ready to go on the Xbox One.

This is a massive game changer and I wouldn't be surprised if the Xbox One selling rates spiked drastically!
