A few thoughts:

Backward compatibility is a big deal. I hope this causes Sony to scrap Playstation Now or at least reinvent it.

No opinion on the Sony side of things, but I'm just waiting to see what the full details of backwards compatibility entail. Say they bring Reach over. Will I get to play it on Xbox Live all the same as if I had it running on my 360? Same goes for other games that get the okay from third party publishers.

Phil Spencer spoke about this a little on the Giant Bomb E3 Day 1 live show. Basically, when you play a 360 game on your Xbox One, your One is disguised as a 360 to the game and to Live. The game thinks it is being played on a 360, achievements track as if you were on a 360, even Live itself thinks you are playing on a 360.

The Xbox One launches a "360 backwards compatibility" app, and the 360 game is then run inside that app. The app is a complete emulation of the 360.
