The do-they don't-they care about backwards compatibility saga has been something of an ongoing soap opera for Microsoft ever since the 360 launched nearly eight months ago. First Peter Moore explicitly suggested that it was no longer a priority in a recent interview and that they'd "under promised and over delivered". Cue much ranting from the Eurogamer masses, ever mindful of contrary comments made by Microsoft execs. But to his credit, Moore caught the mood and set about hastily backtracking on those allegedly "misinterpreted" comments this week, insisting "of course we care, and we're going to continue to try and get as close as we can to our stated target of every Xbox game being backcompat to the 360, and I'm hopeful we get there." So do we, Peter.
