eh, BC is a nice feature but us forum dwellers put too much emphsis on it. really only matters in the first few months when the software is slim pickings.

although, if the rumors are right about hardward BC (wiimote, balance board) that is a much better deal imo.

I dont think that is true, i still play a lot of my older GC games on my Wii, they are still fun and it is nice to not have to go into the garage, grab the old Game Cube and hook it up just to play for a few hours.

exactly, nice but not game changing.  i won't argue against it being nice but it won't effect sales in any significant way.
