True but if you're referring to the fact that you can play Xbox and Xbox 360 games on newer hardware, I believe Microsoft has a team that has to individually patch these games to work for newer hardware.

Sony does something similar I believe with their new Classics Catalogue as part of their most premium PS Plus tier.
