Uh: Microsoft sold just *99* Xbox Ones in Japan last week
We’ve always known that Microsoft *cannot* fucking move Xboxes in Japan. But have we really appreciated how fucking dire the situation is, really? I mean, I certainly didn’t.

Xbox One getting backwards compatibility for 104 games this week
XB1 is getting that backwards compatibility game on this week, with an initial list of 104 games being supported. I know the aforementioned list is much maligned for the titles it contains, but just the promise of b/c in general has me stoked. Plus! I mean. It features Mass Effect, and apparently it runs better on the XB1.
Xbox One’s Backwards Compatibility will support 360’s DLC, too.
Good news, XBOTS. Not only are you (we?, I mean, I own the system) getting backwards compatibility on the XB1. But it turns out that all the DLC you bought for those games you’re going to rocking backwards-ly is also going to function. Fuck. C’mon, Sony.
So Dope: All Future Xbox 360 Games with Gold will be Xbox One backwards compatible
Got an XB1 but don’t got an Xbox 360? Wish you could play the Games with Gold drops every month for the 360? Wish no longer. Man. I really want Sony to get into the backwards compatible game. I mean, I own an XB1. So I guess I should be happy that one of the consoles I own is going to offer such a gnarly deal. But as a zealot Sony fanboy, this burns.
‘Rise of the Tomb Raider’ dropping on PC early 2016, PS4 gets it Holiday 2016
Ain’t no such thing as exclusives anymore. And as much as it pains me to see PS4-only owning folks having to wait out the timed XB1 exclusive for Rise of the Tomb Raider, at least it’s been confirmed they’ll get it. Eventually. Like a year after I’ve played it. But still.
Rare dropping ‘Rare Replay’ for XB1. Thirty futzing classics for $30
Remember Rare? The Battletoads, Goldeneye 007, Killer Instinct, RC Pro-AM company? Well, I’m not shitting you. They still exist. Not only do they still exist, but they’re bundling up a goddamn collection of their classics, and dropping them on the Xbox One. It’s a great deal if you’re looking to play some classics and you are too silly to rock an emulator.
Xbox One will be backwards compatible with the 360. Your move, Sony.
I don’t know if I’m alone, but I value backwards compatibility a lot. So this is fucking rad news for me.
