        NOTE: There has been popular buzz regarding the name of the next generation Xbox. Due to this, I have wish to play safe and title the next gen, Xbox 2020 or XB20. That stated, just remember I meant the Xbox Series X and that other model we probably don't know about.

        I wish to go ahead and make discussion in regards to Xbox 2020 and it's plans for backwards compatibility. Backwards compatibility is very wise to be implemented in any next gen console to this point. The lack of such in the last gen was met with not so pleasant reactions. However, if it is once again, not to be implemented. There will be more backlash than expected. First off, Xbox One games and content to not be brought over to XB2020 can be a high detriment. Yes, it is best to keep the last gen just in case.

        However, if servers shut down for Xbox One go off then how will many access the digital goods and titles if the consumers are steered, especially unwilling, into digital distribution? The meaning of owning a game physically was reduced when the disc required the same amount of storage space in the console hard drive as if you were to buy the game off of the Xbox Marketplace. The same was being said about the PlayStation 4. That said, Xbox One compatibility is a no brainier but that should mean all Xbox One discs, content, and digital copies. NO COMPATIBILITY LISTS!

        If we are to talk about Xbox 2020 running games for Xbox (classic) and Xbox 360, all games and game discs should be considered as well. This will be a very big deal. Why? Because Xbox 2020 can become also a 4-in-1 machine for the retro collectors and owners who have or found their old games for Xbox (classic) and Xbox 360. If the backwards compatibility can extend to all games for Xbox (Classic), Xbox 360, and Xbox One, this will net extra units sold to help out Microsoft. That being said, NO COMPATIBILITY LISTS as well!

        Backwards compatibility is a really big deal. It was a big thing for all of console gaming. If people had no problem playing any PSX disc on a PS2 or a PS3, then Xbox should have no problem. If someone can invent the emulator, there should be no problem. Besides, extra units sold...just saying.
