Xbox One may get backward compatibility with original Xbox games

Microsoft’s Xbox boss is once again talking about the future of his gaming console on Twitter, and this time the future may involve looking back to the origins of the platform.

The Xbox One may get backward compatibility with the original Xbox console, according to Phil Spencer, the head of Microsoft’s gaming division. The executive was on Twitter when someone asked him about the possibility of original Xbox emulation on the Xbox One, and Spencer answered by saying it is something that he’s interested in himself — although it isn’t a priority as the company is focused primarily on getting 360 owners to upgrade to an Xbox One.
