Xbox has backwards compatibility for games all the way back to the original Xbox. Not only is there backwards compatibility, but pretty much all those old games also get HDR support and some of the big ones like Red Dead Redemption and Mass Effect also got 4k textures for 10+ year old games.
Comment on Microsoft Nintendo acquisition hopes revealed by leaked Xbox exec email

With console gaming, it happens once every 6 years. If I want to play Half-Life 2, I can. If I had a PS5 and wanted to play GTA San Andreas, I couldn’t.

Bad example on San Andreas. I have it on my PS5. And not the trilogy version.
But then again, I bought the PS4 version before the trilogy was released. So, I pull my opinion. Good example, dangblingus.
