Keeping an older console around is a good solution, but it is not a permanent one. Consoles wear out with time -some more quickly than others- and once a console gets past its lifetime, it rapidly becomes much harder to find. Eventually it becomes impossible.
BC gets around this by not being a console. As long as future consoles maintain proper backward compatibility, then losing the use of an older console is not nearly as much of a problem, as the newer consoles can still play the old games. This is perhaps not as profitable for the console makers -as long as you're playing old games, you're not buying new ones- but it is far better for longer-term consumers with considerable existing libraries: exactly the sort of customers these companies want to cultivate.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
