Worst Person in Videogames: Backwards Compatability Edition

Blogger note: For those who (for some really unknown reason) looked in my Livejournal version and found this post there several days ago: yes, I am late on this. At the time, Blogger was fraking up, so I delayed posting this until now. Now, read on. So when Microsoft announced that their X-Box 360, they said that the system will be backwards compatable with original X-Box games. It turned out not to exactly be true, since those games have to be emulated to the new hardware. But most people presumed that eventually, if not immediately, all games will be on the backwards compatability list. With only 207 games on the list (here: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm), Peter Moore came out and said (here: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6152178.html): "More are coming...but at some point you just go 'there's enough,' or 'let's move on'...people aren't as worried about a game being backward compatible. I like to think we upheld our end of the bargain [with backward compatibility]." Worse yet, he said: "We under promised and over delivered on that. It's a very complicated thing... very complex work. I'm just stunned that we have hundreds of games that are backwards compatible." So you have 207 games on the list, which wouldn't even constitute half of the Gamecube's library. Plenty of popular and great games are still missing on the list. Games like Burnout 1,2,3 and Revenge, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Soul Calibur 2 and Star Wars: Battlefield (1) are not on the list. Heck, of the three editions of All-Star Baseball that appeared on the original X-Box, only the earliest (2003) is on the backwards compatability list. Microsoft, you're off to a good start, but are far from finished. If you want to advertise backwards compatability, don't BS it with a partial list. Both Nintendo (with the handhelds) and Sony (with the Playstation 1/2) have done it right; no fuss and no wait. But to have only a couple of minor updates to the list only to call it quits is terrible. Peter Moore, you over promised and under delivered, not the other way around. For that, you get the Worst Person in Videogames Award.
