Why can't you play Xbox 360 games on the Xbox If you could play Xbox games on the Xbox 360 then why can't it go the other way too?

The answer is simple. The Xbox 360 is more advanced, so it can still play the older games from the Xbox. The Xbox doesn't have the technology to play the 360 games. Say you learned to ride a bike at age 5, and learned to drive a car at age 15 at age 15, you can still ride a bike, because you learned it way back, and you can drive as well, but at age 5, you could only ride the bike Xbox 360 = 15
Xbox = 5

∙ 14y agoSome don't because of compatibility issues. Games are designed differently for systems and there is a regular backwards-compatibility tool for the 360 implemented in the system (besides the core one I believe)... and so some may work, some may not.. It's because of compatibility issues and the fact that the sounds and videos may not match or even work... so... yeah...
