I find it constantly amazing how firstly, people take BC for granted.

Was the N64 backwards compatible?

Was the Gamecube?

Was the Dreamcast?

Secondly, i also love how people only talk about BC when its not there anymore. Were there threads on the PS2s release saying 'oh my god the best thing about it is the backwards compatibility!'

And thirdly, who buys a games console, to play the games for the previous console!? I bought my ps3 to play ps3 games. If id wanted to play ps2 games i would have just kept my ps2!

I'm happy that the 360 and Wii are backwards compatible, since it allows me to play some games I otherwise wouldn't be able to. I never owned a GC or Xbox. What's more, the 360 upscales Xbox games as the PS3 does to PS2 games AFAIK. Then there's the space and cable jungle issues. How many consoles can you connect to your TV without using switches and the like?

I don't understand why you would downplay BC like that. Clearly it's a desirable feature that many people would like to have.
