Sometimes, after you play a 360 for a month, it breaks. Ok, almost all the time. But Microsoft is really good about it. You mail it in and they'll fix it for free, and you go without games for a month. Of course, there's still the Wii, collecting dust on the shelf. When you realize that you've already beaten all five good Wii games (you know - the ones Nintendo made), you get sad again. You go to GameStop and you buy an original Xbox for $50. You play KOTOR, Riddick, Stranger's Wrath, and Deus Ex 2. You realize that the Xbox wasn't just a bigger, less successful PS2. You discover that you won't be sad and gameless for a month. Yay.
Is this Microsoft's master plan? By not being completely backwards compatible, they encourage you to keep your original XXLbox even though it doubles as a TV stand. Also, pawn shops sell old Xbox games for $5. Kinda makes you never want to go to Best Buy and spend $200 on Rock Band again. You find out that Mirror's Edge is just a polished version of Breakdown and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is just Baldur's Gate with guns and a different setting. Oh well, there's probably originality out there somewhere. Or not. There used to be, but our NES's aren't even plugged in any more. Whatev.
