have you ever been really excited about something and then realized that nobody cares? That's what happened to Sony when they realized that 80-90% of their potential audience didn't care about BC, as shown in their recent address.

I am kinda addicted to wireless now though, but it's not make or break. The real deal is the games. And if you're buying a ps3 to play ps2 games, you're making a big mistake IMO.

I have trouble believing that 80-90% number without knowing where it came from.  I wouldn't be surprised if that number came from one of two sources:

  1. It was one of those surveys where they ask do you like this shiny Subway sandwhich with a $5 attached or this fatty Jr. hamburger?
  2. They ask people that they're already 80-90% sure the answer they're going to give.

I just have trouble believing that if you ask random people if they would rather have BC or not, 80-90% would say no.
