Microsoft’s Xbox engineering boss has been asked about this in the past, and his latest comments on the issue reflect his earlier stances. Of course, Ybarra implies that there’s still a chance, albeit one that would require a lot of effort and manpower, saying: Due to developers paying attention to the last-gen’s catalog, it makes sense that original Xbox games on the Xbox One won’t be happening immediately, but Ybarra stated that the backward compatibility engineering team does like tackling a tough problem....
