Yep. Microsoft can't figure out how to play its own games without a separate device. Nintendo figured that out.

and the wii is severely underpowered. doing that means the device will be more expensive and less powerful
-
Your logic: The Wii has BC. The Wii is underpowered. If the Durango has BC, then it will be underpowered. Something that works by the same logic: God is love. Love is blind. Ray Charles is blind, so Ray Charles is God. Christianity debunked.
-
That makes no sense since having BC does have a tax on hardware improvements
-
It's possible to work around that. Microsoft chooses to make you pay for that.

While sony will as well with an even worse alternative; Streaming your games.
-
And when you compare the size of the Wii to the Xbox 360, the Wii is tiny.
-
and when you compare the power they output, the memory each contain, the multimedia features each have (dvd player, music player, usb etc) the wii isn't even in the same league.
-
But Wii does manage backward compatibility. So other than the multimedia, where the Wii is beat, the Wii has about the same amount of memory as a Xbox with no hard drive, and costs a hell of a lot less for EVERYTHING. I emphasize everything because it is true. So yeah, the Wii is weaker and has less features, but it does what it can pretty well, and is cheap to boot. That is how it is in a league of its own. As for the Wii U, I don't own one so I can't vouch for it.

The xbox 360 is BC too...
-
After you purchase what $100+ device?
-
What are you talking about? You don't need any additional hardware, it's been standard on every 360 since it launched.

Edited by Tilted the Wolf: 4/18/2013 9:30:49 PMI bought a Basic 4 GB Xbox 360. If I wanted to play my old, original Xbox games, it told me to get a hard drive. I got one, for about $100 dollars. Proof Added. From what I think is a reliable source.
