Microsoft poo-poos Xbox 2 backwards compatibility 'fiction'

Microsoft today slammed claims that Xbox 2 will not play Xbox games as "irresponsible... pulp fiction".

The statement, published by web site Team Xbox, a site that's done as much speculating on Xbox 2's specifications as anyone else has, notes that: "Microsoft hasn't made any announcements regarding the next generation, so it's far too early to speculate about specifics, including backward compatibility."
