| De85 said: You think the BC is far more important than it actually is. For the most part all these peoples' old PS2s will still work fine so that is a non-issue. The internet is nice, but they probably all have computers, and when you include the high-def cable as a selling point you're really grasping at straws. Don't get me wrong, those thigns are all nice to have, but in the end what sells a console are the games, so along with reducing the manufacturing costs, that's where Sony should focus. |
You might be underestimating the importance of BC, at least for some consumers. I have a PS2, and now I have a Wii. My buying habbits appear to be typical as to how last generation and this generation are going. I will not get a PS3 without BC unless it's under $149 new. I'll pay upto $299 with BC.
So, BC in a PS3 is worth about 50% of the price to me. A PS3 without BC is worth far less than my Wii.
