Albert Penello, the leader of the launch team for the Xbox One , says that this company does not have any plans to deliver a streaming solution for the Xbox One that will allow the console to play 360 titles.

The executive admits that his team has experimented with the idea and with cloud based gaming but is not ready to include it in its next gen device at launch.

He tells Polygon that the Halo 4 test Microsoft has done was, "a grand experiment, I know we did a lot of work behind it, and we said this is one of the things where the network just has to get better before we can do it."

Many players have asked the company to create a cloud based solution that will allow the Xbox One to play titles offered on the 360.

The new Microsoft platform will be launched in 13 countries on November 22.
