surely that was misleading...the average joe hears the xbone is now "backwards compatible" and assumes most 360 games now work which is certainly not the case.
I'm not sure to whom/what you're arguing about here. 120 games were available by Christmas 2015 (public launch was in November, 104 titles), so even if you subtract the card games, the claim wasn't at all misleading. It was also made pretty clear that games are regularly being added to the list, insinuating that it doesn't include every game yet.

Don't take my word for it, the interwebs does a far better job archiving this stuff than I care to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._with_Xbox_One

It serves its purpose for me and that's really all I care about.

The technical aspect is really the interesting part for me since the console and the PC both run x86-based architecture and both run Threshold. Does this mean one day these back-compat games could be made available to PCs? One day, there will be a new generation of consoles, but with Xbox and PCs running the same OS core, there's less and less separating them.
