At its launch in November 2013, the Xbox One did not have native backward compatibility with original Xbox or Xbox 360 games.[3][4] Xbox Live director of programming Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb suggested users could use the HDMI-in port on the console to pass an Xbox 360 or any other device with HDMI output[5] through Xbox One.[6][7][8] Senior project management and planning director Albert Penello explained that Microsoft was considering a cloud gaming platform to enable backward compatibility, but he felt it would be "problematic" due to varying internet connection qualities.[9][10]
