At a Monday press conference on the eve of the E3 trade show, Microsoft revealed more information about games that will ship this year for its Xbox 360 video game console and home entertainment system, which the company expects to ship simultaneously in North America, Europe, and Japan in November.
Currently, the company is only promising that Xbox 360 will be compatible "top-selling" Xbox games, and not the entire catalog of first generation games. The problem, apparently, is that Xbox 360 runs on a completely different hardware platform than the original Xbox, and Microsoft will have to custom-create software fixes, or shims, that will let Xbox titles run normally on the new system.
