Xbox 360 to be supported for another 3 years with 100 games set to launch."We are going to continue to invest in Xbox 360 and the two devices can work in concert," he said. "So it isn't just like the day we ship Xbox One, Xbox 360 won't work, we will continue to support it. In fact, we are going to ship over 100 new games on Xbox 360, so you will still be able to play your games, just not on the same exact box."

Xbox One to allow loaning, trading of downloaded games.When asked about reselling digital games, Penello said, "We were trying to implement the ability to trade [and] loan digital games with your friends, which is something that no one else was doing," Penello said. "I believe, in retrospect that people have calmed down and gone back and actually looked at what we said, people are starting to understand, 'Wow, they did want actually to allow me to loan and trade' which other digital ecosystems don't want to do. And so, yeah, I think we need to do that. That has to be part of the experience. Right now, we're focused on launch and we switched the program back to discs, because that's what customers wanted. "
Penello added that the "family sharing" feature, which would have let users share their license rights to play an Xbox One game with up to 10 family member accounts on any Xbox One system, was a good idea, and one Microsoft will revisit "when the time is right."
