Xbox 360 Backward Compatibility Updates "Winding Down"

Speaking with Albert Penello, group marketing manager for the Xbox 360, at CES this week, we touched on the future of the Xbox past. The most recent update to the list of original Xbox games that are playable on the Xbox 360, bringing the total to 465 last gen titles, could very well be the last, according to Penello. "I don't know if we have plans to do any more releases," Penello said "It feels like we kind of hit the point of diminishing returns there.

Don't Expect PS3 Software BC To Grow

As you're surely aware, the new method for achieving backward compatibility for the PLAYSTATION 3 will be done mainly by software emulation, following the removal of the Emotion Engine chip from PAL-region PS3s. But despite promising to "continue to offer firmware upgrades to increase the number of titles that are compatible" you really shouldn't hold your breath for, say, Metal Gear Solid 2 to show up under the working list.
