MS has made an announcement that Xbox 306 will be backwards compatible - for
"top selling titles".

Now who the hell knows what that means?  ;^)

My guess is that it means that emulation will exist but MS will only test it
with a subsection of titles.

However it could mean that for some strange reason backwards compatibility
needs to truly be handled on a per title basis (anybody know of a reason
that might be?)  It might also mean that to support a title you'd have to
download some sort of "driver" - but I'm only guessing.

It just seems odd - a real emulator would mean that most titles should work,
correct?  Perhaps some titles that pull tricks may not - but most should.

For them to say specifically (and evasively) "top-sellers" seems to me like
they're hedging their bets for some reason.
