I personally don't see the big deal about BC. Whenever I buy a new console I play newer games on it. If I ever do go back I simply plug in my old one.

True, but it's convenient or a luxury that's nice to have. One of the reasons I bought a PS3 early was because it was BC; PS2 with PS1; I loved my Wii when I had it because I was able to play GC games on it. Nintendo's portables and so on. That's just me though.

A non BC PS4 would allow me to wait till it drops in price and I'm able to buy it with more than a few games. I'm sure Sony,and even M$ and Ninty would want people to adapt to their new consoles sooner rather than later. Again, that's just me.

Personally I don´t wanna my living room crowded with console systems. It´s impractible and aesthetically not pleasing. Also I agree with Solid-Stark. It´s a luxury that´s nice to have. Its great to have a powerful machine that can play past generations of the same brand. Just hope Sony give us consumers the Backwards Compability we want with both Blu-Ray and PSN titles.
