Stimmt nicht so ganz.
Sony und Nintendo wollten für das Super Famicon System eine CD Erweiterung anbieten, da Sony aber etwas lahm war für Nintendo's empfinden haben die sich an Philips gewandt und da Sony dies als Vertragsbruch betrachtete kam erstmal das richtig schlechte Philips CDI mit einigen Nintendo Charakteren und später launchte Sony dann die PlayStation und zog breit grinsend an dem N64 vorbei.

Die meisten Spiele?
Du meinst sowas Microsoft eigenes wie Halo oder Fable.

Aber die meisten Spiele von Dritt-Publishern funktionierend sauschlecht oder starten einfach gar nicht und spucken eine Meldung aus, das man sich etwas Downloaden soll, was dann aber weiterhin nicht funktioniert.
Ohnehin wurden die Server für die Abwärtskompatiblität Pakete abgeschaltet.

Dino Crisis 3 z.B läuft nicht und einige Spiele sind Regionsbedingt wie sie laufen.

Microsoft has taken the unusual step of apologizing for public statements made by an employee about a feature of the next [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon], a product that has yet to be announced. But let’s be clear: Microsoft is only apologizing for the way the message—“deal with it”—was delivered. I suspect it won’t be changing how the next [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] works one bit.
Zitat:
I was asked about guy’s alleged meltdown on Twitter and via email a number of times. My take-aways were simple:

1) Always-on connectivity is indeed part of the next [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon], and it was interesting to see guy confirm that unofficially.
Zitat:
4) Microsoft is only upset about the way feature was communicated, because it likes to present kind of thing has a positive, not a negative.

Folks, the next [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] is going to require an always-on Internet connection. I don’t know the specifics of what that means, but as I explained on week’s What The Tech podcast, which was recorded on Friday instead of the usual Tuesday because of my travel earlier in week, piece of information had been communicated to me, along with some other relevant tidbits, in January. It’s true.
Zitat:
Will Microsoft change requirement in the wake of early outrage? Frankly I think we’re too far along in the development process of the next [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon], codenamed Durango, to make such a change. More to the point, I think that an always-on [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] is directly in keeping with Microsoft’s strategy for all next-generation platforms, including Windows Phone (all versions) and Windows 8/RT, which are designed to work as if you are simply connected all the time. Yes, they do work offline, of course. But the apps platform on these systems—which will be replicated on the Windows 8-based next Xbox—assumes a connection. Microsoft’s new platforms are integrated conduits for online services.
Zitat:
Let’s see what Microsoft has to say about the next [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon], first in a late May launch event, and then later at both E3 and BUILD 2013, before we make up our minds. Let’s not let one ill-conceived comment ruin what’s going to be an awesome year for [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon]. And yes, it really is going to be awesome.

Transcript by Salromano:

"The next [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] is code-named Durango. And we have talked for a while about notion that there might be another version of the [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] that was just aimed at entertainment—a non-gaming device. That device was code-named 'Yumo' and they're not making it. They may make one in the future, but it's not happening year.

"So the new [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] that comes out year will just be the [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon]. And I mentioned before they're also going to sell a new [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] 360 code-named 'Stingray' that will be $99. And you might look at that as two things: backwards compatibility, obviously, suggesting—I don't actually know for a fact, but based on the fact that they're making one—I don't think that the new [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] will play 360 games. But that I don't actually know, that I'm guessing. But, the other one is that, $99, that's a real coo price. And so we know that the [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] 360 does Netflix, Hulu Plus, yada yada yada, and you can make the argument that's kind of a low cost entertainment device, too.

"Durango is going to be expensive [laughs], you know $500, $300 for the subscription, that kind of thing, but you know, Blu-ray, blah blah blah, but the thing that interest me, going back and looking at some of the stuff I got a long time ago, it actually says 'must be internet-connected to use' in the notes. And that's all I have, but it does say that.

[Is that a bad thing?]

"I don't know because I don't know what it means. You know, when you look at some of the stories that were coming out week about, you know, I saw a headline that said something like 'Next [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] could be okay without an internet connection for as long as 3 minutes' or something like that. I don't even know what that means, so for me, [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] 360 is almost entirely an online experience. Most of the games I play are multiplayer, where you're playing against other people online. Or you're using it as an entertainment device when you're connected to a service like Netflix or [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] video, so that is an internet-connected device. In phrase, it says 'must be internet-connected to use', you know, that suggests that you can't even boot into the UI and play—I don't know, I don't know, I don't have one.

"Originally, they were going to announce thing in April—April 24—now they're going to announce it May 21. We know there are events occuring year where we're going to learn more about Durango.

[And it's a fourth quarter release, right?]

"Early November, yeah. E3 is going to occur. BUILD is going to occur in San Francisco in June when they're going to talk about the developer story because it's a Windows 8 device. It's going to have the same, or basically the same, developer tools and developer APIs and all that kind of stuff. So I think there's a lot information to come, but I look at all stuff that I've seen about Durango and I think, 'it's all positive.' I don't really see any bad news here at all. Like to me, everything I've seen about is really positive. It's amazing to me that, based on like no information at all, everyone is like freaking out about everything. Aside from online thing, by the way, the number one question I've gotten from people is, 'What does it look like?' Who gives a what it looks like?

"I've actually heard from, by the way not one or two people, several people who've said, 'based on what I've seen, Sony is going to blow them away.' Based on what you've seen? You've seen nothing. What are you talking about? No, but you've seen literally nothing from Microsoft.

[I don't think that's even a possibility considering how many people use [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] LIVE... You're not going to have mass [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] audience jumping to Sony.]

"The problem Microsoft has has nothing to do with Sony or Nintendo anymore, it's Roku and AppleTV. The market for hardcore video games, the market of people will always buy the next Gears of War game, the next Halo game, the next Call of Duty game, it's fairly finite. It's a decent market, yada yada yada, it's not the market for tablets, it's not the market for smartphones.

720 soll nicht abwärtskompatibel zur [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] 360 sein

09.04.13 - Die Next Generation [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] (Durango, [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] 720) soll nicht abwärtskompatibel zur [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] 360 sein. Das meldet der Wirtschaftsdienst Bloomberg und beruft sich auf mit den Umständen vertraute Personen.

Da Microsoft bei der nächsten [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] auf eine Power PC Architektur verzichtet und stattdessen auf eine x86 Plattform setzt, wird die neue Konsole inkompatibel zur [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] 360 sein.

Microsoft hat die Angaben bislang nicht bestätigt und die Meldung nicht kommentiert. Die [lexicon]Xbox[/lexicon] 720 soll angeblich am 21.05.13 enthüllt werden.
