(N4G Xbox)

Times up! Can you even pick one? Hopefully theyre all fun in their own way for gamers, but for 28-year Microsoft veteran Kevin La Chapelle, the answer to the question is both instant and unlikely to ever change: 2015. Thats the year you heard some of the loudest cheering ever at Microsofts Xbox E3 media briefing. And those cheers werent for new versions of Halo or Gears of War, or even Project Scorpio. Instead, the Galen Center erupted in applause when Head of Xbox Phil Spencer announced what La Chapelles team had spent months working on: backwards compatibility.
