Forced VSync meaning no tearing.Are BC games enhanced in any way?

You fools.
I knew MS would be tracking these statistics, so I rigged up a multitude of Xbox Ones in my home and left them running 360 titles for at least 50m hours in total, in order to provide an artificial demand for backwards compatibility.
You've all been had. You should all be smart enough to realize that no one actually utilizes backwards compatibility.

That's not a lot. 50 hours a month would be ~1 hour 40 minutes a day.
I do time math good, right?
Everyone is charging you for your old game. You had to pay for them either at the time or release, or now. Being able to play them on one platform is nice, but if you own the games, you probably own the platform and if you don't own or never owned the platform, you have to pay for the games.
I've seen it all now... Jeepers.
Are games with variable framerate any better?
Sorry, is that statement incorrect in any capacity?
People have, a few times, called out Sony for being the only one to charge you to play old games. I'm making the point that it's not free games, it's just another way to play games on a different platform. You still have to, at some point, actually have bought the game in question.

Call me nuts but this BC program will definitely be a deciding factor when I eventually buy my first Xbox One (which is when the S or Scorpio releases). I love being able to have some continuity between my old gen collection and the next one.

This is quite me. I still didn't buy a next gen system but I "heavily" invested into the 360 and sometimes still buy a game when it's on sale. I also bought most games on 360 digitally and am subscribed to XBL since day one and as there are still free games to get with XBL, now even with all games being compatible with Xbox One, when I buy an Xbox with EA Access, I will have to buy the console, subscribe additionally to XBL to EA Access and already have a huge library directly available to play, conveniently on one console.
No. People argue(d) that you have to buy a game again, although you already own them.
With Sony and Nintendo you have to buy them AGAIN to keep playing them. Is it that complicated to understand? Yes, I bought Mass Effect and can play it on my Xbone. I bought it like 8 years ago though and have already long since gotten that value. This is a bonus.
Meanwhile, I ALSO own many PS2 games, if I want to play those again I either have to fish out a working PS2 (LOL fun, since mine all have busted disc drives now) or pay sony for the priviledge of playing something I already own on my PS4.
Read the post I was responding to.Buy AGAIN
Xbone BC you can buy it having never owned it, but if you own it you don't pay AGAIN.
What is so hard to understand?
You don't even need XBL for your 360 games from GWG, if you've had them ever you're good.

I look forward to the stats on Red Dead. I really hope they share individual stats for the number of players and the number of sales (digitally).
I'm thinking there's no way to successfully track Amazon and all the other sales (without #'s from all the retailers).
It's possible we will only get hours again in the near future, but I'd love a breakdown of what I'd consider a big BC (re)release.
I don't think we will get stats, tbh. Only after major events and probably also just as a sidenote like in this case.
The most telling stats were the active player numbers on Black Ops right after Black Ops became backwards compatible.
Well its still around 30k now.I'm curious what those numbers were like say, a week after it became BC
Well its still around 30k now.
If 1m users tried BC for 30 minutes that is already 30m hours
The question isn't if anybody will care, but if "most" will care
I'm sure they'll care, just not enough to make any effect PS5 sales.
Now, if MS offered BC on the next gen Xbox (which they will) it will make negative PR for PS5, and that will definitely affect PS5 sales (In a negative way).
If 1m users tried BC for 30 minutes that is already 30m hours.
No, that would be 15 million hours. There's two lots of 30 minutes in an hour.
Maths?!
