Yes I can read, I even read your post twice to make sure I understood it because a lot of it is untrue or doesn't make any since.
please show me what is "untrue", and please give references.
I'm sure I can help you get there in your understanding. I offer up hypothesis and logic based on the proving methods of the PC industry. I only can get so much info from MS.
I can't really help you, if you don't show where I am wrong or point out what "doesn't make sense".

If it would have been relatively cheap to include the necessary components to allow 99.9% backwards computability M$ would have done it.
please give feedback from MS, or links or references.
or some sort of proof...
Have you reviewed the number of lawsuits won by consumers/businesses against microsoft for their intentional negligent practices?

It is not as simple as adding a little piece of PCB, there would actually need to be the Xbox 1 CPU and GPU in the 360 (This is how the ps2 can play ps1 games).
the ps2 has one and only one small ass chip on it's board form the ps1. the IO chip.
there is no need to include other chips. you simply run info needed through that one chip on the board, and the rest of it is routed to the newer and more powerful ps2/ps3 system.
this is what MS should have done.
this is why Sony is more popular.
Sony even released it's own linux kit with hard drive, keyboard and mouse.
currently the ps3 incorporates ps2 with ps1 io chipset, and also the wii incorporates a gamecube chipset.
wii : 100% backwards compatible.
ps3 : 99% backwards compatible.
i.e. these companies value the money spent by the customers on previous titles.
PS3 is slated to abandon ps2 chips on-board in favor of emulation.
however, the emulation supports ps2 & ps1 games.

This would cause many problems though by increasing production costs and heat production by the console. The 360 has a poor heating design as it is and would probably result in more 360 failures.
ok, so you are admitting the console already has massive shortcomings, safety hazards, and fails to deliver the performance as stated at purchase... and probably needs a big ass class action lawsuit.
also: proof?
I just got done showing how the ps2 and ps3 have chips and it certainly didn't cause their consoles to nuke themselves or sky rocket the price. you also stated this as well.
Once again the reason is because Sony had the good sense to respect it's core fan base by ensuring previous titles play over.

Anyways, it is too late to add this hardware to insure 99.9% hardware backwards computability. M$ from the start stated that they would support xbox 1 b.c. through software only on the 360. Halo, Halo 2 and many other titles worked on the 360 at launch. They have continued to add titles that are in high demand since then.
it's never too late to do anything.
where do people get this attitude?
change things man.
stand up for change and make things right.
it isn't ever too late to fix a problem.
I think the 360 could be even better. can we work towards that? they are already supposedly releasing a unit with a much larger HD.
change is very possible.
one other thing: street fighter anniversary features 2 games: 3rd strike and hyper fighting.
currently you can purchase hyper fighting for the 360 on your live arcade. are you so sure the reasons for these incompatibilities isn't money??
because to play that game on my 360... all I need to do is buy it AGAIN.

Unfortunately your games that you want to play aren't very popular games.
tell that to the 20,000+ online players per week of capcom vs snk 2
and the 50,000+ weekly players of street fighter anniversary.
since when was doing things right about popularity??
haven't we all learned in middle school that popular kids aren't always smart, nice, honest or right?
"hey everyone... the popluar thing to do is eat dog shit!"
"cool! let's all do it too!"
...also, they ported over XIII. that game is about as dead as it gets. have you seen the backwards compatibility list? the majority of those games on that list are total crap.

I also have games that I would like to play on the 360 but don't work, so I know your anger. Ultimately it is unrealistic to think that all your old games will all work on your new hardware, I am greatfull the M$ has given us b.c. on many titles free of charge.
ok. I don't feel it's unrealistic. please see my earlier posts about natural development of computing hardware intent on supporting previous software in other industries that Microsoft is in. i.e. personal computing.
you may also wish to review a lawsuit against Microsoft for creating software for Mac os X that was integrated into high levels of business networks, but abandoned by MS, causing them to have to answer for their irresponsible nature.
program name : Microsoft office for os x.
...however, gaming is not held to these same standards due to the end users apathy and acceptance of these gaming companies tactics.

M$ is not trying to be greedy in any way by not supporting some games. It would help them financially if all games worked on the 360.
I'm not saying that they are making my games on my list non-playable on the 360 for profit.
that is retarded. that isn't what this is about.
once again, you obviously don't understand my post, or that is about ethics and company responsibility to its consumer.
(except that hyper fighting thing is kind of looking suspect)
Also, based on your opinion, you are saying that MS had no intentions of us buying all new controllers, headsets, memory cards, driving wheels, wireless adapters, games and accessories at all.
I'm sure that was purely a technology issue.
you are probably 100% right in thinking microsoft isn't motivated by greed and that they couldn't get a usb device or a game from the xbox to be usable in the dvd tray or usb port of the next console, the 360.
you are right, it's beyond microsoft's planning and technology.
they are incapable of such an amazing feat.
the 360 is just so advanced, even it's creator was incapable of anticipating its mighty power!
And MS was forced to remake everything from the ground up, as the 360 was the alien spawn from another planet that even microsoft is unable to control, plan for, or manage in anyway!
the 360 is so powerful!
ZOMG!
have you ever considered that through marketing and advertising you have been pre-programmed to believe that things aren't supposed to be compatible? ...so that you will just accept it, pay them AGAIN, and move on with the rest of sheep in the herd????

That was real mature.
sorry.
I only did that in reply to your personal stab at the xbox-scene forum.
it isn't too nice when I treat you, like you treated me, is it?
