When I wrote this article, I didn’t expect much buzz other than a few Tweets or Facebook mentions, but a few weeks later, I’m getting sourced by CNet, Gamespot and even Japanese blogs. This article has pretty much gone viral and although I’m all for the spread of information, I have to also inform you that this article is 100% speculation.
The rumor of Windows 8 supporting Xbox games originated from Insideris. I didn’t source my article from them simply because there wasn’t really much to link, they too did not have a source (although they claim to have one, who knows?) and both of the articles are speculation.
Although I made the claim that you can simply place an Xbox360 disk into your DVD tray and play, I have no sources to back this information; it’s just purely a logical theory. This theory came to life simply because Microsoft is out to gain profits and the most profitable way to let PC users play Xbox360 games is to simply let them put the game inside their DVD tray and play. Whether there’s software integrated in Windows 8 that lets you do so, or the requirement to download programs via WindowsLive, I don’t know, but it’s the most logical theory when you think about it.
Like any other article on the internet that has radical information, a sense of skepticism is needed. If this turns out to be true, this site’s [Teknylate] credibility is reinsured, but if this turns out to be false, then I guess you can call it, ‘one of those sites.’
