While they’ve shut down online services for some of the older consoles, the backwards compatibility of the Xbox has always been excellent. I was playing Crimson Skies for the OG Xbox on my Series S a few weeks ago.

Can’t do that with a 360 though.

360 was absolutely backwards compatible with the OG Xbox.

Nintendo’s got a pretty good track record.

At the hardware level yes, software, yes as long as you don’t mind repaying for something you bought previously (potentially) and also don’t mind it being unavailable a few years later.

The WiiU could run the entire Wii OS, so that’s pretty good for backwards compatibility

You and the 3 other wii u owners had a rough time… that generation and move to switch was super weird.
