25 years from now, will I be able to play my on my Xbox One?

Yes or no? I keep hearing about servers or what not, could someone please explain? I know right now I can play my Original Nintendo if I wanted.

by pioneering the cloud technology Microsoft has overcome the impossible. have no fear. 

28 years from now, MS will run the Earth and will make Cows our personal servebts. If you are not a Cow now, you have nothing to worry about...

You would be lucky to play it 10 years from now by the way things are sounding.

Better yet join the light side of the force and get the PS4 and don't worry about the bs. I can play my NES now like I could the day I got it. I will be able to play my PS4 25 years from now as well. If your original quits working there will be plenty of refurbished consoles to buy from just about anywhere... or you can pay a premium and get a brand new one still.. I could buy a brand new NES right now if I wanted too... It would work like it was intended to on day one... why should things change?

Let me jump into my time machine...

Porbably not and no one gives a damn, it's your own fault if you buy a Xbone anyway.

25 years from now we will be under a dystopian regime wherein all forms of entertainment and human connection are forbidden.. so why bother with whatever happens 25 years from now...

Probably not but you can still play your Dreamcast!

yes you can microsoft have been serving cloud to corporation since a decade

Probably not. However I am willing to bet anyone that the X1 games will be forwards compatible with future products.

I wouldn't count on it.

why would you touch that shyt when you can just buy the holodeck remakes?

Only if you check in every 24 hours over the next 25 years.

Probably not, but I'm sure there will be, er, methods of playing X1 games, just like there are ways of playing SNES games etc. now.

Probably not but you can still play your Dreamcast!

Major Nelson already said you would be able to play your games if the servers were discontinued. You just wouldn't be able to play online of course. blackace

Master_Live

no

MS isn't Nintendo so I doubt it...

Anyone has a working 1977 Atari VCS btw?

YES - but not thanks to Microsoft.

It will be made possible by hackers and/or emulators ...

I don't know, but on the xbox site it says ' ''Some games not transferable and have no resale value; restrictions on games usage apply.' ' we knew about the used game stuff already but 'restrictions on games usage apply'? I hope this is doesn't mean you buy a license that lasts a year or hell even time restraints for some games like the warZ has. Actually, I hope it is that so I can buy a ps4 and laugh :lol:

this thread is funny cause there is someone that thinks a console now can work after 25years, be happy if it works after 2-4 years without sth breaking

No it can't, if the servers go, all the games go, and therefore the console. The console will only be able to play blu raysThe_Last_Ride

Probably not but you can still play your Dreamcast!

This is a question that MS refuses to answer and sidesteps constantly. SO the answer is NO... NO you won't be able to. They are going to take your 100's if not 1000's of dollars of investment and turn it into a worthless heap of plastic and metal.

One of the many reasons I'm steering clear of MS this generation.

lol thats what  meant M$ have control of the system you buy from them..they can turn it into a brick in a blink of eye..Just take down their server and your xbox one will be useless for gaming..but dont worry you can always watch tv..if not it be just a brick

Depends on how there DRM works there possibility that after console is unsupported they will free it up somehow or they can keep compatibility with xbox oneShadowriverUB

This ^^^

Most likely not.
