At the beginning of June Corporate Vice President of Microsoft, Peter Moore gave a clear indication that backwards compatibility for Xbox games on the Xbox 360 may well be coming to an end. "Nobody is concerned anymore about backwards compatibility. We under promised and over delivered on that. It's a very complicated thing... very complex work. I'm just stunned that we have hundreds of games that are backwards compatible," he said.

Speaking to Major Nelson, Moore has now gone on record to defend his comments, saying that they were taken out of context, "My words... That nobody's concerned about backwards compat were misinterpreted as no one cares about backwards compat; that's not the case at all." he said. "I want to be clear that my comments were not about nobody cares - 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."

The podcast, which is available online, reveals that Doom 3 and Lego Star Wars will be amongst the latest Xbox titles to work on the Xbox 360. The overall backwards compatibility list now stands at approximately 200 games
