You know how many games I will get to play on NGP day one without paying? Many. and all I have to do is hit download etc. etc.

This isn't entirely true, it came out that content will need to be repurchased for PS Suite devices for example (including Sony Ericson's Xperia Play).
Besides, Maxwell's point with backwards compatibility still stands to a large degree... NGP isn't fully backwards compatible (it's digital only), while 3DS is (both physical and digital). You can Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days or Re:Coded on your 3DS, you can't play Birth By Sleep on your NGP.

Ah, you are very correct good sir. I did agree with max on not having UMD BC, my issue was with something else... he's yet to say NGP has BC at all!!! Which we both know is incorrect if he doesn't conceed so in his next post. And honestly, the kind of BC that Sony has is better in the long run.
Soon I even think we'll even see nintendo follow the same stratagy because of how efficent it is.

How is Sony's better when they cut out physical media compatibility entirely? Nintendo's doing both?
And I've no doubt Nintendo will continue compatibility with all their digital platforms going forward. Unlike Sony though, they'll keep their classic games (ie: Virtual Console) walled off between home and handheld consoles.
