4. No Backwards Compatibility
Having a backlog of games which you love now forced into redundancy on an unplayable console, or trade' for pennies if you were to sell them to CEX or Game. Those beloved titles which you spent hours upon hours mastering to the peak now practically worthless and inevitably unusable as Microsoft stops supporting the Xbox 360 stops being supported years down the line. Games that you'll never be able to play again once your console dies. Yes, the Xbox One doesn't support any kind of backward capability. Its new blu-ray drive makes it so, but one can't help dwell on the awfulness of such a thing. The 360 in contrast was able to play quite a few original Xbox games quite well, not all. There's still days I pop in Ninja Gaiden Black when I'm in the mood to punish myself, I was be able to pop in Dark Souls into the Xbox One however. Unlike the Xbox One's competitor, the PS4 which is bringing out the streaming service Gaikai and PS1 and PS2 emulators later this year, there's been no talk of anything similar happening on the Xbox One. The official Xbox support website is full of no's with compatibility the current gen and last gen. The hope of being able to play the first Mercenaries on Xbox on the One has been all but lost.
