Saw this on YTMND and thought it was... well.... interesting.
I'm sure some of these are exaggerations or just plain out BS, but it still kinda makes you think:

I read the original article on 1up (from which the images were st0lezored), and I doubt any of it is plain BS. The original Xbox also had many things in common with the Dreamcast (most notably the controller design), and I hear Microsoft adopted a Sega-esque philosophy to the console market, whatever that means.

Because no one cares about the power supply. Thats a stupid thing to make fun of, if you want better graphics, it requires more power. More power = bigger power supply.

At a glance, they are a lot alike, but there is so much detail in Call of Duty 2 that the old xbox cannot do. I guess the average person cant appreciate it.

Well...the XBox 360 is capable of pushing some pretty awesome graphics...if there is anyone to blame about the aesthetics of the game it's the software companies.

Most people assumed it would be weeks or months (if ever) before Microsoft would start updating its backward compatibility list for Xbox 360 again, especially after corporate VP of worldwide marketing and publishing Peter Moore told 1UP the "emulation ninjas" were taking a break. On the Xbox team, taking a break must mean adding support for the entire lineup of Tom Clancy videogames to Xbox 360. The following games now have patches available via Xbox Live for your high-definition backwards compatibility enjoyment:

* Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
* Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2
* Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 Summit Strike
* Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3
* Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 Black Arrow
* Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
* Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
* Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow

A lot of tom clancy but at least we know they aren't lieing about updating.
