Original Xbox backwards compatibility? "Nothing's impossible"

We're an impatient lot. No sooner did 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft get 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:104 backwards compatible X♌box 360 games out of the door, then ever🌜yone started asking whether we could get all our original Xbox games running, too. The put the question to Mike Ybarra, Director of Xbox Pꦛlatform, who was heavily involved in the 360 backwards compatibility project - and it seems it's one he's been asked before:

"Oh boy, you sound like Phil [Spencer, Head of Xbox] talking to me. He tweets quite a bit about original Xbox. I'll say nothing's impossible. Right now we are ꦚvery focused on trying to get as many Xbox 360 games as possible on Xbox One as we can [...] We're not looking at original Xbox games on Xbox One just yet.

"It's certainly very challenging - getting 360 to work was incredibly challenging, and really a multi-year engineering investment. Going all the 🙈way way back to the original would certainly challenge the teams, but we're fortunate enough to have a great back-compat engineering team who loves to take on challen💞ges - and I'm sure that they'd love that one as an opportunity to go look at."

Ybarra mentions the polling system throughout the discussion - as ever, if enough people asked, original Xbox compatibility could well become a discussion amongst the team. You can listen to th🗹e full podcast here (the back-compat chat begins at around the 19:25 mark):
