Will we be able to download all of our DLC for halo 4 on the Xbox one?
I don’t believe they are making a halo 4 for xbox one. You’ll have to play on your 360 if you want to play halo 4. Halo xbox one is a different game with no release date yet.
Unfortunately, the Xbox One isn’t compatible with Xbox 360 games, so you will be unable to play Halo 4 on your new console.
However, while your profile will transfer from your Xbox 360 to your Xbox One, it will be usable on both consoles. Thus, you will still be able to pop Halo 4 in your 360 and play online, even after buying the X1.
If you wish to continue playing Halo 4 then you will have to stick with the 360, because the one doesn’t have compatability 360 games

What he said. Big oversight by M$FT if you ask me. Not everyone wants [or even can] hook up multiple consoles to their TV. An entire generation of 30- or 20-somethings will be unable to play the games they enjoyed over the past 10+ years. They’re nuts if they think we’ll just buy them all again for the sake of new graphics/achievements.

^Pretty much this, OP^.

I don’t know of any decent TVs sold in the last 6 years that don’t have multiple inputs.

It’s not Microsoft’s fault you have outdated hardware. Honestly, I have no idea how you’re planning on affording a next-gen gaming system if you can’t afford a modern TV.

You realize that you can keep your 360, right? You don’t have to trade it in to get an Xbox One. If your TV only has one input, just switch the cables.
“But you don’t understand. It’s so difficult to get behind the TV!”

This happens with every new generation of consoles. Any “30- or 20-somethings” would know this. Very few Xbox games were compatible with the 360 at launch, and to date, there are very many Xbox games that still won’t play on the 360.

The PS4 will not be compatible with PS3 games, either. Was this a “big oversight” by Sony? No. The current generation of consoles was the first to majorly support backwards compatibility (Wii supports GameCube games, PS3 supports PS2 games, and the Xbox 360 supports Xbox games). Microsoft and Sony probably just realized that supporting backwards compatibility is more trouble than it’s worth.
The architecture change from PowerPC to x86, in my opinion, was a great move for the Xbpx one and means that porting or getting xbox games running on PC’s will be a lot easier. Can’t really argue with unifying their platform 
Simple fix: Just switch your HDMI cable between the One and the 360. It’ll take only like 10 seconds.
I remember when no consoles were backwards compatible and we didn’t care then. I never once thought of playing Duck Hunt on my Super Nintendo. I’m glad the Xbox One isn’t backwards compatible. Why waste the things resources on old tech?
I’m really hoping that they will make Halo 4 a downloadable game to be played on the Xbox One.
Not sure if this would be possible but maybe to appeal to fans of those who are getting the Xbox One to not get rid of their entire Xbox 360 game library.

Why would you get rid of your entire Xbox 360 game library if you want to keep it? You can still keep your Xbox 360. It’s not like you can only have one or the other.

Well if you are on a tight budget like I am. Trading your old console in is a necessity to afford the Xbox One unfortunately.
But I dare not get rid of the Halo games! lol
With the hdmi in on the Xbox one wouldn’t it be possible to plug the Xbox 360 into the Xbox one
> With the <mark>hdmi in</mark> on the Xbox one wouldn’t it be possible to plug the Xbox 360 into the Xbox one
This man is a genius. All of our problems have been solved.
Why do you think Halo 4 will be on the Xbox One? It’s an Xbox 360 game.
Who told you you would be able to play it on the Xbox One?

Always on DRM was sure a huge plus too wasn’t it?

Newer TVs have a lot less ports actually due to the whole “thinness” thing. My 40" inch 2009 Samsung in my room has 4 HDMI and 4 HD AVI, but my 50/55 2012 Samsung (i forget which size) in the den has one HD AVI and 2 HDMI, it doesnt help that most TVs need to use one HDMI port to watch tv now either.
