Sony removed PS2 BC from the PS3, Nintendo removed the GBA slot when the DSi released, Sony is removing Wi-fi from that new PSP model (Europe only?), and now Ninty with this no GC BC Wii. Microsoft hasn't added any new xbox 1 games to the BC list in a long time, but they haven't taken anything off there either. |
Well the way that they justify this is when you originally buy a console or handheld, they know perfectly well there is not a ton of games out for it. So what do they do? Release a console that is compatible with past games, of course. You then have hundreds of games at your disposal, plus any new games.
Well, as the console matures, there begins to be a LOT of games on the new console. There is really no reason to include backwards compatibility any longer, as people should have no issue finding plenty of games that will appeal to them.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
