I'd prefer it if all consoles where backwards compatible with all previous versions no matter how many slots and disc drives they have to have to play everything. Just think how great it would be if you could have one Nintendo consoles that played 25 years worth of games without having to rebuy the games you have sitting on a shelf.

That console would be big, ugly, and expensive.
