Alot of responses, so, in turn, I hope you all don't mind this already made response from earlier today from a different forum, which goes to the heart of the matter for me, and to consumers in general (btw, this full unedited response was to someone on IGN, relating to this matter, but the gist of it it still applies here) :

"That's not actually true....Obviously Various Sony systems have been, and some Nintendo disk based consoles have been as well. The first B/C system I remember was the ATARI 7800. But that's not the point.
The point is, is that the point of your sentiment is wrong, because what your trying to say used to be true. Now, consoles and platforms being backwards compatible with their digital offerings is an industry standard.
Since this is really about digital games being B/C (not the physical disks), you would be pretty much completely wrong, because this is the first generation where we've had full fledged digital stores, and every digital platform out there works with successor hardware: APPLE, VALVE, Microsoft (allegedly)....and get this....as bad as Nintendo may be with their online know how, even Nintendo makes sure the shit you buy works....sloppily, but it works.
Do you see what I'm saying and where this could go?
Sony will be the laughing stock of the entertainment industry.
Sony better not be the lone fool that can't figure out how to make their old store stuff work with the PS4."
