Well........yeah. You don't think a machine given that much more development time should, at the very minimum, play games from an older console?

---

1) As said above, even the X1 can't play a good portion of those games (this is licensing, not hardware, but still, third party is now a completely separate and cutthroat game)

2) How does Nintendo make a mobile console powered enough to play Nioh and Horizon? Answer: They can't. Or better asked, Should the goal of every new console be to just make a standards based machine can play all older generations of games no matter what immediately?

They probably could do themselves a favor and back off from the home console talk, because it simply doesn't hang.

"Home console" doesn't mean one thing, or one approach. And they aren't trying to hang, if you expected them to, that was the problem. They haven't "hung" since the Gamecube.
