Xbox team rejects study claiming no one uses backward compatibility

If Nichols’ figures are correct, since backward compatibility went live in November 2015, Xbox One users have played backward-compatible games close to 1 million hours each day.

Soon after, the controversial stance—that no one actually cares about the feature—was seemingly confirmed by a recent study claiming that backward compatibility is a way less popular than you’d think among Xbox One owners.

But maybe the real question is: If Xbox wants to continue to support backward compatibility, how is that a bad thing for gamers?
