Peter Moore Clarifies Stance On Backwards Compatibility

Just when you call him a darling he turns around and kicks you in the shins. About two weeks ago Xbox uber-spokesman Peter Moore said something that nearly caused Xbox gamers to short circuit, “Nobody is concerned with about backwards compatibility anymore.” Moore said. “We underpromised and overdelivered on that.” Huh!? Just about anyone who’s been following 360 backwards compatibility felt cheated and betrayed, as it sounded like Moore was laying the groundwork for Microsoft to slow down its push to add more titles to the 360’s BC list.

Just yesterday we got news of twenty more titles being added to the backwards compatibility list, and we also got clarification from Peter Moore about those incendiary comments, thanks to an interview on Major Nelson’s podcast. Apparently Moore says people mistook the word “concerned” for “cared” and stated that Microsoft still cared about backward compatibility, and was continuing to work on getting more  Xbox titles running on the 360. I expect if you’re thrust in the spotlight as often as Moore is you’re bound to slip up now and again, don’t worry Peter, we still love you!
