Forums - Sony Discussion - Would u be willing to pay an extra for backwards compatibility?

In all honesty, I definitely would. New consoles tend to have a slow start so being able to play older games (from a system you may have missed, even) is a major boon.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Around the Network

Yes i would.



depending on the price, yes, absolutely



No I wouldn't. Ive never used the feature on all the consoles I've owned which have had it.

At launch yeah I would have.



Around the Network

Probably.



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

[Prediction Made 6/18/2014]

I'd easily pay $50 for PS3 backwards compatibility including media capabilities. $50 extra for PS2 and PS1 compatibility with higher native resolution and filter options.



No, because I keep my older consoles.



yes, and even then i would still keep my PS3.



I would have mainly because I gave my PS3 to my sis and havent been able to play a bunch of awesome PS3 games over the last year.
