I'm hoping yes with time travel being involved.

All they need to do is have DOFP result in X1-X3 being an alternate timeline, and move forward with the FC/DOFP timeline. Done and done.
First Class HAS no major continuity issues insofar as the first trilogy is concerned; the only two things it messes with are Xavier's line in X1 about Magneto having helped him build Cerebro (which really isn't an issue) and the scene at the start of The Last Stand where Erik and a still-bipedal Charles go visit Jean (which could be explained in any number of ways).
But seeing as how The Wolverine is after X-Men 3 I don't see that happening.

The age at which Erik and Charles met isn't a continuity error. It's a retcon. Retcons do not need to be 'fixed' or explained.
^ They don't have to say that they retconned the age at which Erik and Charles first met because FC's actual content does it for them.
First Class changes Charles' age when he and Erik first met (he's in his early 20s in FC), therefore retconning the mention in X-Men of Charles being 17 at the time he and Erik met.
Although the previous mention of Charles' age being 17 when he met Erik still exists in X-Men, it is overridden by the retroactive continuity of First Class.
I don't think that's a continuity issue. Professor X is a lot older ( in Xmen 1) and sometimes his memory can be a bit shaky.
Please stop making up excuses as you go along.
I can understand if the producers / writers did a George Lucas and re-released the first Xmen films with selected parts re-imaginedbut they haven't.
It's either terrible writing for First Class or the first xmens films are from a different filmverse. I suspect its the former.
he's already explained what he meant - it is a retcon simple
