Potential/Current PS3 owners: Does b/c matter to you?

[Onimusha12]

The PS1 and PS2 have two of the best game libraries in video game history. Lack of B/C is a pretty big deal for someone like myself.

Though despite having chosen the PS1 and PS2 as my consoles of choice the last two generations I'm sure you'd say my opinion doesn't matter anyway.

PS1 B/C was a huge deal for the PS2, you weren't just buying the next system, but you were carrying over your entire game library. Combined with the phenomenon of the hyper-successful Playstation One remake there was no incentive to just drop the PS1 game library like a brick either, it was a continued beneficiary existance of the two consoles.

Now, not only does the PS2 and PS3 exist in contrast to this as two consoles worlds apart, the PS3 has hastened the dissapearance of the PS2. Though to be honest, the Ps3 is not trying to appeal to the people who bought the PS1 and PS2, it's trying to appeal to the people who bought the Xbox and Xbox 360, a demographic who B/C has never really mattered.
