If I had owned the Xbox 360, I wouldn't have been bothered with the Xbox One not being backwards compatible. I wouldn't even mind hooking up my Xbox 360 to play Xbox 360 games should I feel the want to do so. But I don't believe that calling people "backwards" for wanting backwards compatibility was a good, professional move on Microsoft's end. Sure, it would be a lot easier if the Xbox One had such as having to either hook up both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One together or separately to play games is a rather daunting task, but I would have done it anyway should I have bought the Xbox One.
They could have handled the situation a lot more better than that.
However, since I do not play the Xbox 360 and have no intentions of buying the Xbox One, I am not bothered by this.
Something to think on: Although they're calling the people wanting backwards compatibility "backwards" and what-not, wouldn't Microsoft technically be "backwards" for naming their next-generation console Xbox One compared to the Xbox 360?
