Forums - Sony Discussion - Why does Sony hate the BEST feature of all time?! Backwards Compatibility....

This is the ONLY thing I HATE about Sony home consoles, is theres NO Backwards Comp!!! Like sure it cost money to add emulation on Consoles but look at its competitors!  THEY have it! This is a feature that Ninteno has that makes their consoles look so good! I still have my PS3 to play PS3 games, if PS4 had B.C. I would've sold my PS3 to buy MORE PS4 games which will bump up Sony's revenue. I already made a thread about how not having Backwards Comp. is hurting Sony financially. Sony has a chance to MAKE the PERFECT console ever! You know what the last perfect console was??....  THE PS2! Normal controller(taking a shot at Nintendo's wacky gimmicks) Backwards Comp (taking shot at PS3), Good games,  Updated graphics, and full of good features! It's just as frustrating as Nintendo's failure of keeping up with current hardware annd Microsoft's  expensive prices. Sony please open your eyes!

Sure Sony announced "ps2 on ps4 games! we gave you what you wanted!"... no you didnt!! We STILL CANT put our PS2 games in our PS4 and play them, you are FORCING us to REBUY games with this "added features" thing. we would STILL be able to use the shareplay, livestream and so on! You are FORCING use to pay for games we ALREADY own. All we ask for is for us to put our physical games WE ALREADY OWN in a physical PS4 and play them! No repurchasing them via Give Us your money PSN store. You KNOW what we are talking about. You KNOW what we want. In the mean time you are EMBARRASSING yourselves with no Backwards Compat.

... Why does EVERY Gaming Company have 1 HUGE CON?! Making the PERFECT Console is EASILY possible.   



Around the Network

It's simple business. When backwards compatibility is included in consoles, a very, very small percentage of users actually use it--I think it's like 5% or something like that. (I remember reading this more than once, but I don't have a links to sources to back that up.)



But.... Sony started BC with the ps2..... They threw it away this gen to lower the ps4's launch price.... Which imo was a good move because they also launched PS now, streaming will become a bigger feature as years go on....
