Well you can use your physical disc but I think it only works as a key - the game is stop downloaded from the store as a digital title with a digital license.
I guess that is why he said "some form of".

Please continue.
Ridiculous how many people come into this thread solely to try and cut down on the xbox one, even though backwards compatibility is in all ways a positive for the industry.
Mighty impressive.
Than these 27 games per week is meaning they are only outsold by 39 other games which also isn't true: https://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-video-games/zgbs/videogames/ref=pd_dp_ts_vg_1 shows that the top list doesn't only contain games.Can't really say much based on that. If RDR sold 1 game per week before, it's now selling 27 games per week which is 2600% increase.
In what way?
It sounds like a large number, but if you break it down it isn't really.
BC has been around what, 8 or 9 months? With an average of somewhere between 15-20 million owners you're looking at an average of about 5 or 6 hours per owner, or 15 mins a week, of playing BC games. Which confirms my personal experience i.e. that playing old gen games, no matter how good they are, is generally a bit shit once you're used to current gen.

I'm all for BC but let's not pretend it's a big deal.
I mean, not to take away from your point, but hat percentage from what it was originally is still pretty small being compared to neptunia and everything
Can't really say much based on that. If RDR sold 1 game per week before, it's now selling 27 games per week which is 2600% increase.
So around 5 hours per xbox one. (is it meaningful to put it that way?)

It's 100 million more than PS4 players have done. It's a big deal. That's basically an average of every owner playing another BC game per year than they would be playing otherwise. Considering the average attach rates of most consoles over their lifetimes, let alone a single year, that's actually pretty significant.

I personally love BC, but there are costs associated with it. If Microsoft has BC out of the box for their next system huge props to them. But if this is more MS marketing bs then it is messed up for gamers who like BC because it keeps their hopes alive about it for future systems.
I bet WiiU have much more hours spend on BC than Xbox one's 100m. Wonder why Nintendo don't share those numbers.
Does Rare Replay count?

Good number, and can the BC games be played online?
With consoles being like PC's now, there's no reason to not have it for future systems.

Yes, you even show up playing the game on xbox live to your friends.Good number, and can the BC games be played online?
The XB1 basically goes into 360 mode. So yes you can play online.
Black ops saw a huge increase in players thanks to BC from a 1~2000 players it shot to >63000 players in a matter of hours.

Of course there are costs associated with it, but people trying to downplay 5 hours average per user is ridiculous. 5 hours average per user is pretty high, the average user isn't a gaf poster that might play 20-40 hours of videogames in a week.
There really isn't much costs, it's an emulator
One programmer working on it for a year is not cheap. plus whatever testing and certification they do, etc. They don't just go 'eh the emulator is pretty good' and not pay attention to the rest.
I'm not sure if you're trying to imply that the average individual takes 15 mins a week to play a 360 game, hates it, then goes back to a week later, hates it, then goes back a week later
Which is bizarre mathematics
There really isn't much costs this time, it's just an emulator on x86 architecture
I haven't implied that at all. It's just what the average represents.
Simple arithmetic average = bizarre mathematics! Got to love the Internet.
Do we have any numbers from PSNow?

Oh, there is because of QA. Not as extensive as it is with the PS2 bc on PS4 (if we can believe the amount of money Sony states that is required for trophies) but still the games have to be tested to be released. Also, the emulator is still being worked on.
Who wants to play Skyrim BC when there's a 1080p remaster with enhanced graphics and mods coming?
So around 5 hours per xbox one. (is it meaningful to put it that way?)
I guess we will need to make that sum bigger if we want more Publisher's support
bc is great for preservation of console games. i'm glad nintendo and microsoft support some form of physical BC
If anything this confirms that BC is barely used at all
Mighty impressive.
I'm amazed that someone can take a service being used for 100 million hours and equate that as barely being used at all.
Not less than a popular game... and the numbers will only increase with the years.If anything this confirms that BC is barely used at all
5hrs/console.
Cmon this is the company that worked with the NSA to force the Kinect on everyone. You really don't think they don't know how many times you paused the game to go to the bathroom????I guess I'm the only one which is bothered that Microsoft CAN get such statistics? I'm really reluctant to let my usage habits known, free market research and co.
I'm amazed that someone can take a service being used for 100 million hours and equate that as barely being used at all.
still more than I used that feature - but, I do realize that there are people who play/buy/own way less games than I do, and they're most likely very grateful for BC5hrs/console.
Again for all these over the last year statements, for most owners they have only had BC for te last 7ish months
