Does Xbox 360 console play Xbox games?

Answer 1

Yes it does, but not all of them, for the list of games the 360 is backwards compatible with, please check out the Microsoft support site.

It depends. It will play most. Some may need a patch installed before they will play.

Answer 2

No the spec to play 360 games is to high as the original xbox does not have the capability to hand the size of the games and the graphics in them. Also 360's patching original xbox games for some games but it can not be done the other way round.

Answer 3

Yes, it does play some original Xbox games, mostly only the more popular titles. A complete list of compatible games is available at Xbox.com. You must, however, have a hard drive on your console so that the emulation software for the original Xbox games can be installed. Without this emualtion software, your console will not run the original Xbox games.

You can play Xbox games on the Xbox 360 but only if the game you are attempting to play is "backward compatible".
