Doesn't say that here.

It's excellent.
Things may have changed, and the newly registered site (www.origenxbox360.com) might have something to do with it... but my money is on compatability through emulation and only with certain games to begin with. Hopefully Pro Evo 5 and most future XBOX released will be 360 compatible.. Lockdown and Evo 5 are my most wanted.
Microsoft Xbox games that have sold more than a million copies as of June 2005.
* Halo 2 w/ Limited Edition (4.7 million)
* Halo: Combat Evolved (4.09 million)
* Fable (1.75 million)
* Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (1.52 million)
* Grand Theft Auto Double Pack (1.36 million)
* Project Gotham Racing (1.21 million)
* Madden NFL 2005 (1.21 million)
* ESPN NFL 2K5 (1.19 million)
* Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (1.16 million)
I imagine we can add the following to that list in terms of which games will be emulated fairly soon:
Madden 06
Rainbow Six 3/BA
Jade Empire
Project Gotham 2
Burnout 3
KOTOR II
Ninja Gaiden (Maybe)
There's some more...

To read all these pointless and unofficial figures that are probably completely wrong for yourself [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best_selling_video_games[/URL]
I'd love it if that was the case... it would make sense... Mind you, they specifically said 'top selling XBOX games' at E3.
Maybe we should just wait and see. :S
