Voodoo Extreme is reporting from the Microsoft press conference at E3 that the Xbox 360 console will be able to play the some Xbox titles via emulation. On his blog, Major Nelson also repeats the claim issued by Robbie Bach at E3: that the Xbox 360 will play "the most popular" Xbox titles. There are also other interesting bullet points, and surely more details will come out as the conference continues; MS is expecting between 25-40 titles for the new console in 2005, and something called "Xbox Live Marketplace" will allow gamers to create and sell for cash custom game content. (One assumes that "most popular" would include at least Halo and Halo 2--Ed.)
